This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.
Usage guidelines
Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.
+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.
+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.
+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

NEW. ENGLAND
HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL
REGISTER.
JANUARY, 1901.
^lEMOIR OF THE REVEREND EDWARD GRIFFIN
PORTER, A.M.
President of the New-England Historic Genealogical Society.
By the Bet. Mtbom Samxtel Dudlbt, A.M.
The first ancestor of the subject of this sketch, in America, was
John Porter, whose name first appears in the records of Windsor,
Connecticut, in 1637. The settlers of Windsor were organized as
a church in Plymouth, England, in March, 1630, with the Rev.
John Maverick and the Rev. John Warham as pastor and teacher.
This church was gathered from the counties of Devon, Dorset, Som-
erset and Warwick. In 1630, this company emigrated to New Eng-
land and located in Dorchester, Massachusetts. It was not long
before the incoming of settlers was so numerous that more room
was necessary. Hearing of the attractions of the valley of the
Connecticut River, a portion of the Dorchester immigrants decided
to locate upon its rich meadows. A company was formed composed
largely of the church that had been organized in Plymouth, and a
journey, beset with innumerable difficulties, was begun in the autumn
of 1635. The company took its church organization with it, leaving
Mr. Maverick in Dorchester, and was accompanied by Mr. Warham
as pastor. In fourteen days they arrived at their destination, having
passed through a wilderness marked only by indistinct Indian trails,
with no guide but the compass ; their path, for the distance they
travelled, one hundred miles, was over mountains and through marsh-
es, with no cover but the heavens and no lodgings but those afforded
by simple nature. The new settlement was located on the west
bank of the Connecticut River, and now forms the township im-
meiliately north of Hartford. One authority claims that John Por-
ter was in touch with this Dorchester- Windsor band before it left
England, but he did not come with it. His name does not appear
in the records connected with Dorchester. There is some reason to
VOL. LV. 2

• A
12 -\ V Edward Crtiffin Porter. [Jan.
beliey^ "fehat Mr. Porter was a friend or parishioner of the Rev. Eph-
i;aim.3Hewett, of Wraxhall, in Kenil worth, England, who was in-
•.yilCil to come to Windsor as Mr. Warham's assistant. John Porter
• .lirrived in Windsor in 1637, a man of mature life, for nine of his
twelve children were bom in England ; a man of substance and ac-
knowledged ability and public spirit, for he is soon put into positions
of public trust and authority. He is on the town or parish commit-
tee in 1637, and constable, then a high and responsible oflSce, in 1639.
He died in 1648, leaving a considerable estate for that early period.
His wife. Rose, died in 1647. He willed to his oldest son, John,
one hundred pounds sterling ; to James, sixty pounds ; to each of
the other surviving children, thirty pounds ; and to the Windsor
church, fifty shillings. Edward GriflSn was descended from John*
through his second son Samuel,' Hezekiah,'' James,* James,* James,'
Daniel,' Royal Loomis,® Edward Griffin'. The Porter family, in
Edward's line, lived, during nearly all the generations, in the Con-
necticut Valley, in Windsor, Hartford, East Hartford, Connecticut ;
and in Hadley, Massachusetts. Mr. Porter's paternal grandfather,
Daniel Porter, resided in Salem, New London County, Connecticut.
He was born December 31, 1772 ; married, in 1800, Polly Badger,
born March 20, 1776, daughter of Enoch, Jr., and Mary Lamphear.
Very soon after marriage, Daniel and his wife appear in Williams-
town, Massachusetts, where their son, Royal Loomis, was bom in
1801. They joined the church in Williamstown in 1805. Royal
entered Williams College in 1819, and was graduated in 1823. He
was a student of marked ability, showing decided literary tastes ;
bold and independent in thought. During the year following his
graduation, he taught school in Greenwich, Washington County,
New York. Then, in 1825, he went to Boston, and in partnership
with Willard Badger, a younger brother of his mother, he started
a semi-weekly newspaper. The A^nerican Traveller^ the first num-
ber of which was issued July 5, 1825. Tliis paper was started with-
out a single subscriber, but Mr. Porter never doubted the favorable
issue of his venture. His success justified his confidence. In con-
nection with the Traveller^ and as a supplement to it, Messrs.
Badger and Porter issued a bi-montlily, 27^e Stage Register^ a
very useful periodical, that filled the place now occupied by the Rail-
way guide-books. This contained a full account of the principal
lines of stages, steamboats and canal packets, in the New England
States and the State of New York, giving their hours of departure
and arrival at Boston and other central points, the towns through
which they passed, proprietors' names, fares, distances and routes.
This bi-monthly began in 1825, the same year as the Traveller^
and was issued till 1845, at which date, the year following Mr.
Porter's death, these two periodicals were replaced by the Boston
Evening Traveller ^ daily, semi-weekly and weekly. The weekly
edition supplied the place of the Stage Register j the need of which
1901.] Edward Griffin Porter. 13
was passing away as the railroad was rapidly superseding the stage-
coach. Mr. Porter, the leading manager in these undertakings,
threw himself into his work with a zeal and energy that overtaxed
his physical powers, never great. He died June 13,1 844, at Charles-
ton, S. C, whither he had gone early in the previous winter,
seeking relief from consumption. His mental activity and laborious
exertions, for nearly nineteen years, in conducting his periodicals,
unquestionably undermined a constitution that was never of the
strongest and laid the foundation of a disease which shortened his
life. In promoting the success of his papers and extending the area
of their circidation, Mr. Porter travelled extensively over 5^ew Eng-
land, and was constantly making new acquaintances. He always
met a hearty reception, and acquaintance often ripened into friend-
ship. He was genial, affiible, urbane. He had the full confidence
of his fellow townsmen, as was shown by the fact that he was twice
sent to the General Court of Massachusetts as their representative.
He was social, warm in his friendship, untiring in benevolence, full
of tact, painstaking and exact in everything to which he applied
himself. This testimony of contemporaries is of interest, as it shows
the source of many of his son's traits. On the 30th of June, 1831,
Mr. Porter married Sarah Ann Pratt, bom in Charlestown, March
6, 1813, daughter of Silas Pratt, bom, 1782, in Fitchburg, and
grand-daughter of David Pratt, born, 1746, in Westminster, Mas-
sachusetts. In 1833, Mr. and Mrs. Porter made their home in Mc-
' Lean street, No. 20, a street that to a remarkable degree retains its
old time appearance amid the great changes that the West End has
undergone. This home was retained till Mr. Porter's death in 1^544,
and here were born three sons : Royal Francic?, bora June 21, 1834,
die<l July 5, 1850 ; Edward Griffin, born Jan. 24, 1837, died Feb.
5, TjOO; William Rogers, born Aug. 14, 1841. William was
educated in Dorchester and Andover. At the first outbreak of the
Civil War he enlisted as a private in the Thirteenth Massachusetts
Infantry, was soon promoted to a lieutenancy in the Eleventh Mas-
sachusetts Infantry, and was killed in action at the second battle of
Bull Run, August 29, 18G2.
On the 15th day of June, 1845, Mrs. Porter was marrie<l to
Xathan Carruth, a Boston merchant, who was born in North Brook-
field, Massachusetts, December 25, 1808. Early in the year 1847,
Mr. and Mrs. Carruth made their home in Dorchester, on a beauti-
ful estate, the creation of Mr. Carruth's taste and liberality, which
is still occupied by the family. Mr. Carruth received the children
of his wife by her former marriage as his own. His affection and
care for them, his pride in their achievements, were as liberal and
genuine as for his own son and daughters. Edward was seven
years old when his father died. He was then in attendance at a
priTP 'U the city. He continued his studies at this school,
nily moved to Dorchester, till he entered PhiUips
14 Edward Griffin Port&i\ [Jan.
Academy, Andover, in 1851. Here he maintained a good standing.
He was never robust, and his vitality, at the best, was scarcely nor-
mal. He inherited from his father a tendency to pulmonary weak-
ness, consequently he was not active in athletic sports which, in his
school life, were not so prominent as in these later times. He is re-
membered by his classmates as a boy of singular purity of character,
kindly in associations with his fellow students, studious and attentive
to his school duties to the extent of his strength. He was fitted for
college in three years, and entered Williams College, his father's
alma mater, in 1854 ; but toward the end of his sophomore year he
transferred his college relationship to Harvard, and was graduated
in 1858. A few weeks before his college class day, Mr. Porter went
abroad, and during this stay of three years in Europe, he pursued
his studies in Berlin, Heidelberg and Athens, in the latter city de-
voting himself to the mastery of the modem Greek language. His
vacations he passed in extensive travel through Europe. In 1861,
Mr. Porter returned to his home, and at the Harvard Commencement
of that year took his Master of Arts degree. In the autumn, he en-
tered Andover Theological Seminary, and was graduated in 1864.
He was licensed to preach by the Norfolk Association of Congre-
gational Ministers, January 26, 1864, at Braintree, Massachusetts.
During the Civil War, though physically unfit for a soldier's life,
he took part in aiding the sick and wounded soldiers in the field hos-
pitals and camps, serving on the United States Sanitary Commission.
While on this service, he contracted a fever which seriously under-
mined his health. As a result of this temporary physical incapacity
he was unable to accept any proposals to become a settled pastor
and take the full charge of a parish. By the advice of his physi-
cian, he sailed for Europe in May, 1866. After spending some time
in England, he went to Switzerland and Italy. Here he became
greatly interested in the work of the Protestant churches, especially
in the movement to establish Waldensian churches and schools in
the principal towns of Northern Italy, and seriously considered a
proposition to become the pastor of an Anglo-Italian church in Ven-
ice. His interest in these benevolent enterprises moved Mr. Porter
to co-operation with the many organizations that took an active part
in the religious and educational work of the new kingdom of United
Italy. For more than twenty years he was connected with the board
of oflScers of the Gould Memorial Home and Industrial School whose
field of labor is in Rome. In 1868 Mr. Porter returned to America,
and was soon invited to become the pastor of a young church tliat
had just been organized in Lexington, Massachusetts. He accept-
ed this call, and on the first day of October, 1868, was ordained
and installed as the first pastor of this church of twenty-four mem-
bers which since that date has grown to one hundred and eighty-
eight. This was Mr. Porter's first and only pastorate, extending from
the date of his ordination till 1891, when he was dismissed, at his
1901.] Edward Griffin Porter. 15
own request, from the active pastorate and was elected pastor emer-
itus by his devoted and grateful people. He served this parish
with a painstaking faithfulness that reached outward to all the varied
interests and needs of the families of his congregation, and beyond
these to the welfare of the whole community. With zeal, earnest-
ness and enterprise, he touched and quickened sources of life, moral,
religious, intellectual and social. The Church and the Sunday
School, the old and the young, all the homes of his own particular
charge, felt the impulse of his unobtrusive, natural piety, his refined
and cultivated tastes and well-stored mind. Mr. Porter's own
people were greatly attached to him. The Church grew and pros-
pered, and gained in position during the whole of his pastorate, and
won a prestige that has been maintained. The value of his work is
unquestioned and cannot pass away.
Toward the end of his connection with the church, the project of
a new church edifice, of which there was a growing need, was brought
forward. This coming event had often been in Mr. Porter's thought,
and he was well prepared to guide the purposes of his parish. It
was his idea that the building to be erected should be worthy of the
historic town it was to serve and adorn. To give efficient and ac-
ceptable suggestion to those having this matter in charge, was among
his closing services before he left the church and town to be absent
on an extended tour around the world that occupied about two
years.
But Mr. Porter's activity was by no means limited to the watch
and care of the families of his own church and congregation. He
was faithful as pastor, teacher, friend; going in and out as a
watchful and sympathizing minister. But he was, likewise, from
the day of his entrance upon his new life work in Lexington, strong-
ly attached to all that pertained to its past history and its stable
growth and prosperity in the present. Lexington became his adopt-
ed home. He bought a house, and immediately became a citizen of
the town, and retained his citizenship to the end. He quickly made
himself familiar with his new home — its physical aspects, its hills and
dales, its streams, flowers, shrubs and forest trees, its past vicissi-
tudes, its social and material capabilities. He was in sympathetic
touch with hosts of people in every walk in life. He was social and
genial, healing contentions, never to outward appearance noticing
adverse criticism, and never responding to it.
He served six years on the school board of Lexington, and dur-
ing a portion of this period was its chairman. He had the full con-
fidence of the teachers, and was a valued friend and wise counselor.
Not long after Mr. Porter's settlement in this historic town, the project
of celebrating the centennial of the Lexington battle was agitated.
He was intimately associated with the prime movers in planning and
carrying forward this celebration, a member of the executive com-
mittee, active in several sub-committees, chairman of the committee
16 Edward Griffin Porter. [Jan.
of order of exercises, and chaplain at the grand dinner. A large share
of the voluminous correspondence was carried on bv him. He gained
access to ancestral homes of England, especiallv that of Percy,
Earl of Northumberland, and therebr was instrumental in secarinor
for the town some of the most important and valued relics of the
Kevolutionary era. The Lexington centennial medal, struck off in
bronze and white metal, was his project, and the faces were designed
by him. The study of this medal affords an interesting illustra-
tion of Mr. Porter's thoroughness and minute accuracy in historical
details. The shaq^est critical examination will fail to discover any
anachronism. The obverse of this medal has been adopted as the
town seal of Lexington. Mr. Porter was closely associated with
Mr. Charles Hudson, the town historian, in the organization of the
Lexington Historical Society, and was alwavs active in its affairs.
He was a prominent member of the tablet committee, whose work
was to mark historic sites within the limits of the to>vn. The stone
cannon, marking the spot near where Earl Percy planted a field piece
to protect the retreat of the British troops, was designed by Mr.
Porter. He was active in establishing the Car}- Library, the town's
free library, and his counsel was highly appreciated by the board of
trustees, of which he was a member, and by his fellow-townsmen.
It was Mr. Porter's close and interested connection with the Lex-
ington Centennial that discovered to himself and to his friends his
natural aptitude for historical research, especially for local historical
study and for gleaning in the by-paths of local history. Their
story for him was always interesting, sometimes fascinating. He
found abundant rewards for his excursions into the unfrequented
tracks of local histor}'. And those to whom he opened his treasure
houses were richly entertained. He was always ready to share the
accumulations of his richly stored mind. He gleaned where others
passed by, and then freely distributed the fruits of his harvesting.
A good illustration of Mr. Porter's methods of research, and his happy
way of using the results, has recently been published in the Proceed-
ings of the Massachusetts Historical Society for February, 1900,
At a meeting of the Colonial Society of Massachusetts, Mr. Abner
C. Goodell had been invited to speak on a subject of his own select-
ion. He chose the sect of the Glassites or Sandemanians, an ob-
scure body of Christians, unknown to the vast multitudes of the
Christian world. With much labor and difficulty Mr. Goodell had
looked up their history, especially in America. Mr. Goodell writes :
" I went to the meeting with the feeling that I enjoyed a monopoly of
information u])on this subject, which I had found so obscure, and which I
had tak(;n such pains to fathom. Accordingly, when in\'itcd, I uttered
my oracle and sat down. Judge of my surprise when, in re8iK)nse to a sim-
ilar call, I heard the sweet voice of our departed friend begin an exposi-
tion of the theme with a confidence, a fulness and exactness of knowledge
that seemed impossible without recent laborious research and the most care-
1901 . ] Edward Oriffin Porter. 1 7
fal premeditation, which we knew the circumstances precluded in this case.
Not only did he treat of the doctrines of the sect, but of its history all over
the United States and the British Provinces, as well as in Great Britain
and Ireland, with personal reminiscences of the scattered surviving mem-
bers and an account of the localities in which they had chiefly flourished
and where the principal remnant remained. His discourse, as I recall it,
was a gem of elocution, both in articulation and in rhetoric ; and at the
same time full to exhaustion, it seemed to me, of the information which
would satisfy the most inquisitive. Immediately upon his conclusion, mov-
ed apparently by the same sentiment, members arose here and there, ex-
pressing their surprise and delight at the novel information, and the man-
ner in which he had imparted it, and beseeching liim, if he could recall it,
to have his discourse printed just as it had been delivered, without the omis-
sion of a syllable or the transposition of a word."
Mr. Porter published the first of his historical works at the time
of the Lexington Centennial. It was an illustrated brochure, en-
titled " Souvenir of Lexington," of fifteen pages. This was the
first of a long list of publications that were issued during the remain-
ing years of his industrious life. This material is the outcome,
chiefly, of historical studies, being in most instances originally pre-
pared for centennial or other anniversary occasions, or for the meet-
ings of historical societies of which he was a member. This memoir
concludes with a list of his works, as nearly complete as it could be
made in the time at the writer's command. It has not been possible
to glean thoroughly from the issues of the daily press, and from local
weekly papers. So far as known, Mr. Porter kept no record of his
publications.
Toward the close of his pastorate, as has been already mentioned,
Mr. Porter made an extended tour around the world in company
with the Reverend Daniel March, D.D., of Woburn, Massachu-
setts. This was a tour of very great interest and enjoyment, but
by no means a pastime. These gentlemen took upon themselves
the self-imposed task of visiting the Christian missions of the coun-
tries journeyed through, especially those in which the Congrega-
tional churches of America were carrying on their work. They
studied the methods and results of these labors. They carried cheer
and sympathy to the self-denying laborers, and gave the Christian
salutations of the American churches to their brethren in the far
East. It was a pleasant service, but not without its burdens. Mr.
Porter, likewise, gave close attention to the history, the political sit-
uation, and the material and the social conditions of the countries
visited. The mass of documentary material, found in his library,
is a revelation of the amount of work accomplished during this
tour. He came home fully equipped for the largest usefulness to
the churches and societies that would surely seek the services of one
who was always ready to give out liberally that which he had gath-
ered. About two years after his return, he gave up his parish work
at Lexington. After this he spent a considerable portion of his
18 Edtoard Oriffin Porter. [Jan.
time at his mother's home in Ashmont, Dorchester, and devoted his
leisure to historical study, availing himself of the rich stores of
material in the libraries of Boston and Cambridge. He was unre-
mitting in labor, though there was no pressure of need, and he
might have given himself wholly to a life of ease and self-indul-
gence. This was not possible for him. There were too many
nooks and comers of his native city beckoning to him ; too many
opportunities for service in behalf of his ministerial brethren, of
churches, and of historical and patriotic societies. He was in con-
stant demand at anniversaries. He was always ready to respond to
invitations, and always happy in his contribution to the exercises of
the occasion ; and sometimes most pleasing when his answer to a call
was impromptu. He was a capital illustration of Bacon's apothegm
that reading makes a full man. And Mr. Porter's reading was
vivified by careful and studious travel. In a manner rarely equaled
he was able to entertain an audience with talks and lectures about
his travels. For this purpose he did not need a stereopticon. In
the drawing room of his Ashmont home, or before an audience com-
posed of the leaders of Boston's most important commercial enter-
prises, he commanded unwearied and delighted attention, as, for
two hours or more, he conducted his listeners through the countries
he had visited and described the scenes he had looked upon. This
was a gift to be coveted, but rarely attained.
Mr. Porter's social disposition, his inherent refinement, developed
by his genial, affluent, though simple home life, made him a plead-
ing and welcome guest wherever he journeyed. In nearly all the
places he visited, he found old friends and acquaintances who gladly
received him to their homes. This situation gave him an insight
into the history and social environments of many places of which
he was happy to take the advantage and of which he reaped the
full benefit. Especially did this opportunity enable him to gain a
mastery of the local history of New England communities often
surprising to his friends. At the mention of many towns about
Eastern Massachusetts he would give forth a most interesting fund
of information that must have been the accumulation of diligent
study and rapid absorption amid the immediate surroundings of the
locality. Some of the results of these studies have been embodied
in papers read before various societies of which Mr. Porter was a
member, or to which he gave them by invitation, and are in print.
Others were in various stages of preparation at the time of his death.
He had outlined a book or pamphlet upon the " Colonial Taverns of
New England " that would have been of exceeding interest and value
had he lived to complete it.
Mr. Porter was an active member, also on the official board, of
many societies and institutions, especially such as were in the line
of his specialty. The following list includes most of these bodies,
but as some may have escaped notice it cannot claim completeness.
He was President of the New-England Historic Genealogical Society.
1901.] Edward Oriffin Porter. 19
He became a member of this Society in 1870, and was elected
President in January, 1899, and re-elected for 1900. During his
short time in office, he showed a lively interest in the affairs of the
Society, visiting the rooms in Somerset Street nearly every day.
With quietness and tact, and due consideration for the methods and
traditions of a society long established, he showed a purpose to lead
the body of which he was the official head into broader fields of
usefulness and activity, and to make the region it nominally repre-
eented, New England, actually interested and cooperative in its
affairs to an extent not heretofore realized. He was also President
of the Board of Trustees of the American College of Central Tur-
key, at Aintab ; Vice President of the Prince Society ; Secretary
of the AVinthrop Club ; on the official board of the Gould Memo-
rial Home and the Industrial School at Rome, Italy ; a corporate
member of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Mis-
sions ; a member of the American Historical Association, the American
Antiquarian Society, the Massachusetts Historical Society, the Colo-
nial Society of Massachusetts, the Bostonian Society, the Lexington
Historical Society, and the Nantucket Historical Association. He
had been, in the past, or continued to be, till his death, on the official
boards of these educational institutions : — overseer of Harvard Uni-
versity ; trustee of Lawrence Academy, Groton ; Abbott Academy,
Andover ; Bradford Academy, Bradford ; all in Massachusetts.
It has seemed to the writer fitting to give this altogether too mea-
gre sketch of Mr. Porter's ancestry, and of his life and work, as it
furnishes an abundant justification of the admirable tributes that were
paid to the memory of this hard working and useful citizen of New
England, at the time of his decease. Many of these tributes have found
a permanent place in the published proceedings of the societies to
which he belonged. With a quotation from one of tliese that has
already been referred to, this memoir is closed. Mr. Goodell writes :
"Mr. Porter possessed, without qualification or flaw, all the qualities
which distiDgiiisli the New England gentleman. Can any higher praise be
bestowed? Although familiar, by travel and close study, with the present
state and past history of the Eastern world, his aifection for his native
home never abated ; but all he learned of other peoples and places served
only as texts for illustrating the story of the men of New England and the
fainiiiar scenes in which their lot was cast How he loved his native Bos-
ton,— through every episode of the past ever new and present to him I — as
if he had mounted Beacon Hill in the train of Governor Winthrop, or ram-
blo<l about the North End by the side of Cotton Mather, or counselled with
Samuel Adams, Warren and Revere There was a wonderful
charm in the presence and countenance of our departed friend. Although
consistently loyal to the strict traditions of the faith of our forefathers, its
effect upon his social side was not such as to induce him to seek seclusion ;
neither did it impart the least trace of acridity or repellency in his sjwech
or manners. With him all was dignified sweetness, modesty and cordiality.
I have often thought of him as a perfect illustration of what Mr. Upliam
maintained, in his reply to Poole, was a proper subject for the application
20 Edward Griffin Porter. [Jan.
of the word venerahie, when they were discussing the suitableness of its
application to young Cotton Mather ; ' Virtue/ says Mr. Upham, * is vener-
able whatever the age. So are all great traits of character, and so is every-
thing that brings to mind consecrated thoughts and impressions.*
Though not old in years, nor long accustomed to exalted station, nor
wide^ly known to fame, we may well apply to our associate the apothegm of
the Wisdom of Solomon : * For honourable age is not that which standeth
in length of time, nor is measured by number of years. But wisdom is the
gray hair unto men, and an unspotted life is old age.' "
This is a just, calm, deserved tribute, and it finds its vindication
in the facts set forth in this memoir.

THE CHILDREN OF ROBERT WHITE OF MESSING, CO.
ESSEX, ENGLAND, WHO SETTLED IN
HARTFORD AND WINDSOR.
Bt a Deboendai^.
Robert White of Messing, yeoman, died in 1 617. He was a rich man.
He seems to have lived in Shalford in Essex most of the time from June
24th, 1585, the date of his marriage to Bridget Allgar, until a few months
before his death. The baptisms of nearly all his children are there recorded,
and also the marriage of his daughters — Mary in 1614 and Elizabeth in
1901.] Children ofBoberi White. 23
1616. It was the home of his wife, where she was baptized March II,
1562, and where her father, William Allgar the elder, was buried Aug. 2,
1575. Shalford is about two miles south of Wethersfield.
His bequest of 40 shillings to " Mr. Richard Rogers, preacher of God^i
v>crd at Withersfield in Essex," renders it probable that he was friendly to
non-conformists, and that he had often listened to this awakening preacher ;
while a like bequest to Bartholomew Scrivener, minister of the Church of
God in Messing, implies his continued interest in the established church.
His bequest of forty shillings to the poor people of Messing, without giving
anything to the poor of Shalford, where it is supposed that he lived for many
years, creates the suspicion that perhaps Messing was his birthplace. An
Alice White and a Will White were buried there in 1591 and 1593 respect-
ively, but it is not known that Robert White was related to either of them.
According to his will, hereinafter given, he left surviving a wife Bridget ;
three sons — Daniel, Nathaniel and John who was his yoimgest child ; three
married daughters — Sarah, Mary and Elizabeth ; and two unmarried daugh-
ters— Bridget and Anna. As he makes his son Daniel joint executor with
his wife, it may be inferred he was his eldest sou, and possibly by a former
wife. His wife Bridget was the mother of his other children, of whom
Sarah, wife of James Bowtell of Little Sailinge in Essex, was the first bom.
It is believed that three of his daughters came with their husbands to New
England, namely : Mary White, wife of Joseph Loomis of Braintre^ ; Eliza-
beth White, wife of William Goodwin of Booking ; and Anna White, wife
of John Porter of Felsted.
Matthew Grant's Old Church Record (in Stiles's Ancient Windsor) records
the death in 1647 of ** John Porter, Sen's wife," and also the death in 1652
of ^*' Joseph Loomis, Sen. his wife." This is valuable information, but it
would have been more satisfactory had the record contained the Christian
names of these wives. Nor does tlie entry in the Wiudsor Town Records*
of the birth of John Porter's two children, Nathaniel in 1640 and Hanna
in 1642, give the mother's name. In the same town records is this entry:
**.Johu Porter, Sr., came from England and settled in Windsor m 1G39."
j/r. Porter was present as a member of tlie " Committee " of the General
Court in Hartford, August 8th, 1639. He died in Windsor 2l8t April,
164^, leaving a will, an abstract of which is hereinafter given, aud it is to
be noticed that two of the beloved friends made supervisors of his will were
*' Mr. William Goodwin of Hartford and Goodman White of Hartford."
The marriage of John Porter of Felstexi to Anna White of Messing, 18th
October, 1620, is found in the Parish Register of Messing. The baptisms
of their children, beginning with Anna, September 21, 1621, their first born,
down to Mary, October 1st, 1637, the last one there baptized, are recorded
in the Parish Register of Felsted. They probably went to Messing soon
after this date, as the baptism of their daughter Anna (who is sui)po8ed to
hav(f die<l in infancy), November 4, 1638, is there recorded. These facts,
taken in connection with the information concerning his family contained
in the will of John Porter, dated April 20th, 1648, and also in the Town
Records of Windsor, are regarded as good and suflicient authority for the
statement that tliis John Porter of Felsted and John Porter of Windsor,
Conn., were the same person. The names of his children in his will
(omitting his two eldest daughters) are the same and in the same order of
seniority as the baptisms m Felsted, except that hi his will he names first
all his SODS, and then all his daughters. Two of his children, as already
• Beg., VoL 5, page 369.
24 Children of Robert \Vhite. [Jan.
stated, were born in Windsor, Nathaniel in 1640 and Hanna (Anna) in
1G42. His two eldest daughters were not mentioned in his will because
he had given them their portions at their marriage, as appears from the
report hereinafter given of the Committee to the Court in Hartford in 1 650,
recommending that their portions be made equal to the portions given to
their younger sisters.
These two eldest daughters were Anna, who married February 24, 1 644-
5, William Gay lord ; and Sarah, who marrie<l October 24, 1644, Joseph
Judson. Matthew Grant's Old Church Record gives the death in 1648 of
Rose Porter, who was burie<l 12th of May, 1648, doubtless that one of the
younger daughters whose deatli is referred to in the report of the Com-
mittee. The burial of their iirst Samuel is recorded in the Parish Register
of Felsted.
In the Loomis Genealogy, pages 9-11, evidence is given proving that
Joseph Loomis, of Braiutree in England, came to Boston in 1638, and
settled in AVindsor in 163i). It is believed that this Joseph Loomis is the
Joseph Loomis whose marriage, June 30th, 1614, to Mary White, is re-
corded in the Parish Register of Shalfortl, and this theory is sup[K)rted by
the bequest in 1617 of Robert White to my *' daughter Marie, the wife of
Joseph Lummis of Branctree."
The home lots of Joseph Loomis and John Porter in Windsor were
adjacent, and these two sisters, Mary (Wliite) Loomis and Aima (White)
Porter, began in 1639 new homes side by side, in which they lived the rest
of their days. Three years before, in 1636, their brother John White, and
their sister Elizabeth (White) Goodwin, had settled in Hartford.
The baptism of Elizabeth White, 5th March, 1591, is recorded in the
Parish Register of Shalford, as is also her marriage, 7th November, 1616,
then a singlewoman of that parish, to William Goo<lwin of Bocking, then a
singleman. There is a In^quest to her in her father's will, which is dated
May 27, 1 ()17, and she was probably present at her father's burial, 17th June,
1617. No mention of her has been found later than June, 1632.
John Tallcott and William Goodwin came over ui the ship " Lion," which
sailed June 22d, 1632, from London for Boston. A few days before she
sailed John Tallcott and his wife Dorothy, and William Goo<lwin and his
wife Elizabeth, join in a conveyance of messuages, land, etc., in Braintree
and Bocking, to Martin Holbeach, gentleman, Adrian Mott, RichanI
Skynner, Rol)ert Ay let t and Robert Morrys. John Tallcott was of kin to
Richard Skynner, and his wife Dorothy Mott was related to Adrain Mott.
Whether AVilliam Goodwin and his wife Elizabeth were related to or con-
nected with any of the parties does not a})pear ; but it may be remembered
that Elder William Goodwin's nephew, A\'illiam, son of his brother Osias,
mentions in his will in 1689 **land in Hartford which formerly belonged to
his uncle John Morrice."
It is plain that John Talcott and William Goodwin were disposing of
their property in England because they were going to find new homes
across the ocean.
That John Talcott came from Braintree, P^ngland, and that his wife
Dorothy Mott came with him to Hartford, are facts well known and long
ago estiiblished.
This sale or ** Fine," an abstract of which is given below, was sent some
time ago to !Mr. James Junius Goodwin of Hartford, who has very kindly
permitted its present use. It is of great genealogical value. Before the
finding by Mr. Waters of Robert AVhite's will, which is printed in Mr.
1901.] Children of Robert White. 25
Goodwin's book, the " Goodwins of Hartford, Conn.," page 68, there was
no reason for believing that AVilliam Goodwin's wife Susanna was his
second wife. But this will, with a bequest to " mj daughter Elizabeth, wife
of William Goodinge of Booking," and the discovery afterwards of the record
in the Parish Register in Shalford of their marriage in 161G, and the con-
veyance of land in Braintree and Bocking by John Talcott and wife Dorothy,
and William Goodwin and wife Elizabeth, made in June, 1G32 (just as the
" Lion " was about to sail, in which these men are known to have been
fellow passengers), make it highly probable that AVilliam Goodwin's wife
Elizabeth came with him to Hartford, and lead irresistibly to the conclusion
that Robert White's son-ui-law, William Goodwin of Bocking, and Elder
William Goodwin of Hartford, were the same person.
The date of the decease of William Goodwin's wife Elizabeth has not
been ascertained, but it must have been before January, 1609-70, for at this
date William Goodwin sold land in Hadley, Mass., and the name of his wife
who then joined in the deed of it is Susanna — " the lirst and only record of
his wife yet discovered in America."
William Goodwin and his wife Elizabeth left but one child, a daughter
Elizabeth, who married John Crow, an early settler of Hartford. The date
of her birth is not known, but it could not have been earlier than 1617, nor
has the date of her marriage been found.
It is very plausibly supposed that the John White who came over in the
"Lion'' in 1632 and settled first in Newtown, now Cambridge, in Mjissa-
chusetts, and then came with the Rev. Tliomas Hooker and his church to
Hartford in 1636, was the son of Robert White of Messing. The record of
his l*aptisra has not been found. He was not of age in 1617, when his
father made his will, in which it was provided that if he should marry with-
out the approbation and consent of his niother, and of Joseph Looinis of
Bniintn-e and William Goodwin of Bockinix. his legacy of 200 pounds should
be reducinl to 100 pounds. In the list of thirty-three of tin; passenir(.r3 of
tlu* ** Lion,"* given in Drake's Founders ot' New Knixland, pui;i:' 12, his
namt' follows next after the name of William (ioodwin. His wife's name
was Mary, as appears from an unexecuted Iwi^e in the handwriting ot his
son, Nathaniel White (now in the iM)sses>ion of one of his desc*endants),
dated March 2S, 1006, the lessors being .lolm White and Mary his wife, the
le>see their son Nathaniel ; the? premises, his house and gai'den, etc., in
Hartford, reserving the use of two rooms therein for the term of ih«' Iiv<'s of
said John and Mary, and of the longest liver, whetlier said John or said
Mary.
The Parish Register of Messing give« the niarriai^e, December *J(», 1022,
of John White and Mary (Lev)it. A fac siuiih* of a tracing made by Mr.
William Brigg of this entry is here given.
At the request of Mr. Frank F. Starr, of Mi<Mletown, Mr. William Bi'igg,
• We know thie name of the vessel from Gov. Wiuthrop's Hist. N. E., vol. 1, p. 107.
26 Children of Robert White. [Jan,
editor of the Herts Genealogist and Antiquary, very kindly made a careful
examination of this entry. His great experience and skill in deciphering
old records make his suggestions and conclusions on difficult words in such
records of great value. He writes to Mr. Starr as follows :
'^ In reference to this entry : all I need say is that it is a most difficult
one to read so far as the surname of the wife is concerned. In the tracing
you will notice two faint lines where the initial letter of the name ought to
appear. These lines were only visible under a very strong magnifying
glass, and the letters following are totally illegible until we come to the last
two, viz. ' it,' which are clear enough. It struck me at once that the initial
letter was ^ L,' and I immediately searched the portions of the register in
the same handwriting for a capital L, but failed to find one. Then I
searched through the baptisms to see if there was any name ending in ' it,'
during the period in which it might be supposed she was bom, and again I
failed to find anything satisfactory. Later on in the register, however, in
the years 1633 and 1635 respectively, I came across the baptism of two
children of Isaac Levit and Mary his wife, and I have very little hesitation
in suggesting that the name of John White's wife was Livit. On my re-
tmn home 1 looked again at the will of Robert Wliite, printed in Mr.
Goodwin's book, and found that a certain William Levett was one of the
witnesses. I think you will agree with me that my suggestion is a very
probable one."
Mr. Brigg found among the Filed Wills, Archdeaconry of Colchester,
the will of William Levett, yeoman of Messing, dated 9th October, 1626,
proved loth December, 1626, at Fering. He left an estate of about five
hundred pounds. Mentions wife Margaret, sons Isaac, Richard and John.
Mr. Brigg also found the nuncupative will of his widow Margaret, dated
February 16, 1633, proved 9 March, 1633. Mentions sons Isaac, John
and Richard, also a son William not mentioned in her husband's will. No
daughter is mentione<i in either will. William Levett's will is valuable
because the name of one of the witnesses is " John Whit." The following
is a fac simile of a trachig made by Mr. Brigg of this signature, and under
it is a fac simile of the signature of Elder John White of Hartford, to the re-
commeiHlatiou of the Coiuicil in 1677, of which he was a member, called to
heal the difficulty which had long troubled the ancient church in Windsor.

The variation in the spelling of these names is not considered important.
Autograph signatures of the same person are often found where the spelling
is not precisely the same, especially when the difference consists of the final
" e." Persons familiar with the handwriting of those times have examined
these fac similes, and considering that one signature was written in 1626
and the other fifty-one years afterwards, when the writer was about 76 years
old, have expressed the opinion that they are sufficiently alike to have been
written by the same hand.
Of Elder John White's children, Mary and Nathaniel were bom in Eng-
land, but only the baptism, July 16, 1626, of Mary has been found. The
rest of his children named in his will were born here.

Hiere was a James Bowtell of Salem and Lynn, 1635, freeman 14 March,
1639. His will, dated 22 August, proved 26 November, 1651, mentions
wife Alice, sons James and John and daughter Sarah. See Essex Ins.
Hist. Coll., Vol. I., page 9, for abstract of this will. No connection has
been discoyered between this testator and Robert White's son-in-law, James
Bowtell.
The will of Nathaniel White of Fering, dated 9 June, 1623, proved 31
July, 1623, mentions his mother Bridget White, and gives her an annuity
of ten pounds. Fering is four or five miles from Messing.
It deserves to be mentioned that family genealogies have been printed
of all the members of Kol)ert White's family who are known to have emi-
grated to New England, namely :

consider the matter.
March 7th, 1650.
Upon the consideration of the business referred to our consideration
touching the children of John Porter of Wyndsor, deceased, We finding some
expressions of his that he would make the portions of his two eldest daughters
as good as his younger ; also we conceive the eldest were helpful to the estate
and that the Lord hath taken away one the younger daughters and that the rest
of the children are disposed of without damage to their portion ; our apprehen-
sions are (if the Court see meet) that the two eldest daughters portions be made
up thirty pounds apiece.

REV. mCHAEL WIGGLESWORTH.
Communicated by Delouaine P. Corey, Maiden, Mass.
The following copy is from the original manuscript of Mr. Wig-
gles worth, which is now in the possession of John Ward Dean, A.M.,
to whom it was presented by the late Rev. George E. Ellis, D.D.,
in 1872. From the allusion in the fourteenth section to the treat-
ment which his wife had received, it must have been written after
the year 1679, when he had married his youthful "servant may**,"
40 Mev. Michael Wigglesworth. [Jan.
Martha Mudge. This marriage, which Increase Mather vaioly
sought to prevent, appears to have given occasion to much displeas-
ure among the Maiden people, which resulted in the envious and
spiteful disposition of which the writer complains. The coals of the
Matthews affair had not cooled and the troubles over the Rev.
Thomas Cheever may have begun. Added to these was the uneasi-
ness caused by the long and frequent indispositions of Mr. Wiggles-
worth, which incapacitated him for public work. The paper is so
suggestive that I regret that I did not have its details when the History
of Maiden went to press in 1898. It confirms with the utmost cer-
tainty the unhappy condition of the Maiden church and people which
I had gathered from less definite sources.
Some grounds <& Reasons for laying down mt office Relatio.
1. Two callings so differet in their nature, & both so weighty, are too
heavy for one mans shoulders, especially one so weak. They canot both
be attended as they should.
2. J have found my stregth & Health not only hazzarded, but often
much impaired, <& my body kept in a weak & languishing condition by
my ministeriall Labours, tho : imdertakg but now & then ; w** is greatly
prejudiciall to me, tho : not so beneficiall to them, bee : J canot make them
any constant supply.
3. Jn case J should by continuing in their service, so far weaken my
body as to be thereby disabled fro any other imployment, J can expect
small succour (or rather none at all) from them in a weak & imserviceable
estate : Therefore J judge it best & most safe both for me & them to be
disengaged from each other in Time.
4. Jf practice should fail me here, as it doth at present, J cannot see a
possibility, but that J must follow it : For it is that calling w** J mainly &
almost wholly depend upon under god for an outwd subsistance.
5 They will be some what better able to incourage another, when J
have laid down, & they take no further care for me.
6. Jt may be they may sooner be supplied, & have anoth settled am5gst
them. At least wise J have heard more than once, that it is y® apprehen-
sion of some that they shall not be supplied so long as J am in office
amogst them. Therefore J desire not to be any longer either their reall
or supposed hindrance.
7. J finde that of late the more J have laboured for their good the worse
J am requited, especially by most unjust & hard Censures past upo all my
Administratios and Actios, so that J see no place for doing them any
furth — good.
8. My way is obstructed & quite blockt up, so y* J can no longer per-
form office Duties (neith do J se any probability that those Grievaces
will be removed) therefore it is in vain to stand any longer in office Rela-
tio. which foresd grievaces J chuse to suppress rath then to express for
their peace & quietness.
9 Jn o' Late Renewed Coven* we solemnly engaged our selves to set
upo y® work of Reformation, & in gticular to oppose to o*^ uttermost sundry
provoking evils : But finding no sp^ for Reformatio, but rath such oppositio
as leaves me w%ut hope of doing any good ; J desire to be set at Liberty
fro those bands y* my office Relatio do binde me withall, that J may keep
a good consciece, & neith be troublesome to others nor they to me.
1901.] First Book ofRaynham Records. 41
10. Tho : J have not wrought for hire nor served men, but christ : yet J
cannot chose but take notice that of late yeers their incouragements have
been real discooragem^, as holding forth contempt, or at least a very low
esteem of my ministry, and (in some) a will to be rid of it, rather then
longer to enjoy it.
11 J have Long desired to be at liberty, hoping that J might by that
means recover some further degree of health and stregth.
12 J finde my stregth so exceedingly empaired by the troubles &
disqmetments w^ J have met with lately, that I see no possibility of long
coflicting w*^ y* same, or y® like ; and therefore desire to be Released, &
so freed fro an unwelcome burden.
18 If they will Detain me they must maintain me (w^ J am far fr6
desiring) But they cannot maintain me ; Therefore must not Detain me.
14 tl discern such an envious and spiteful dispositio in some towds my
wife (& Uiose not of y® meanest neith) as argueth little love or respect for
me. The old proverb is, love me & love my Dogg ; w*^ if it be true, cer-
tainly they do not love me y^ hate my wife ; & are glad w° any dirt is cast
ap5 her or affrdt offered to her. And indeed J see not how there can be
any living amogst such, where ths are thus, & such ths & Persons coun-
teficed & incouraged to more & more boldness. Theref . J desire a place
for me & my wife, where we may sit w*** less envy & w'^out molestation.
15. J am verily pers waded y* s6e of y* church desire my room rath
then my company : whose desires becaus they concurr w^ mine ( tho : upon
differet grounds) J am willing for this once to gratify.

HOPE ROGERS.
Bt James Swift Rooers, Esq., of Boston, Mass.
The following imperfect record of Hope Rogers and his descendants is
offered with the hope of eliciting something concerning his parentage,
brothers and sisters, etc.
The first record thus far discovered is in Windham County, Ct., records,
that Hope Rogers of Mansfield bought lands of John Waldo, in Windham,
June 5, 1713. 100 A. for 115 pounds sterling. He married Nov. 14,
1715, Esther Meacham. The record of his children is also found in the
Windham Co. records.
48 Hope Rogers. [Jan.
One correspondent writes that Hope had four wives and thirteen child-
dren, but fails to name any wife except £sther Mecham, or any children
except the ten given in Windham records.
According to one tradition, he was the only son of Joseph Rogers, who
married Sarah Cuvier (or Currier). Shortly after his marriage he joined
an expedition to Port Royal, where he was probably killed by the Indians,
or French, as he was never heard from afterwards. Hope was so named
in hopes of his father's return. The same tradition states that Joseph was
one of four brothers who came from England and settled in Salem, Mass.
This last clause does not strengthen one's faith in the first.
The children of Hope and Esther (Meacham) were :
i. Joseph,' b. Aug. 6, 1716 ; d. Infant.

OSGOOD CARLETON.
By the Rev. Anson Titus, Somerville, Mass.
Osgood Carleton, for a quarter of a century before 1810, was the
leading teacher of mathematics and navigation in Boston. He had pupils
from many portions of New England. His was the school of the day for
instruction in navigation and in the art of map construction. As a teacher
and cartographer he easily held a foremost rank. He was born in Notting-
ham, N. H., June 17, 1741 ; eldest son of Jeremiah Carleton and wife
Eunice Taylor, and a grandson of Joseph Carleton of Newbury and wife
Abigail, daughter of Christopher Osgood. Jeremiah Carleton, the father
of Osgood, removed in his manhood years to Lyndeborough, N. H. In the
Carleton family were seven cliildren :
i. Osgood, b. June 17, 1741.
ii. Jeremiah, b. , 1743; m. Lois Hoyt; had eleven children, and
settled upon the homestead in Lyndeborough. He was a lieutenant
at Bunker Hill,
iii. Mary, m. Reuben Batch elder.
iv. Abigail, m. rist) John Johnson and m. (2d) David Putnam.
V. Timothy, killed at the raising of a meeting-house.
vi. David, slain at the battle of Bunker Hill,
vii. Ebknezer, was at Bunker Hill. He died at Hill, N. H., Dec. 8, 1836 ;
m. and had five children.
Osgood Carleton enlisted. May 2, 1 758, in the company of Captain Aaron
Fay, Col. Ebenezer Nichols, and served seven months for the " Reduo-
1901.] Osgood Oarleton. 53
tion of Canada." Residence given as Litchfield. [Mass. Archives, xcvi :
419.] April 6, 1759, aged eighteen years, and especially named as the son
of Jeremiah Carleton, residing in Woburn, he was attached to the regi-
ment of Colonel Eleazer Tyng, under command of General Jeffry Am-
herst for invasion of Canada. The Regimental Return was dated at Dun-
stable [Mass. Arch., xcvi : 378]. January Ist, 1760, he enlists as a private
in the company of Captain Joseph Newhall, Colonel Jacob Bayley, then
staUoned at Louisburg. He was discharged December 20, 1760. [Mass.
Archive, xcviii, 482.] These separate enlistments, however, only show
that he was in the pay of the province. This service brought him into
the home and service of Major-General John Henry Bastide,* director and
engineer of the king's ordnance at Louisburg and Annapolis. It was while
rendering service in the army of Nova Scotia his talent for mathematics
and his skill at original work were recognized, and he was made a part of the
working force among the navigators and artillerists of the King's army and
navy. It is said that for five years young Carleton was under his tutelage
in the provinces and on the high seas. General Bastide as chief en-
gineer of ordnance found in Carleton a young man of large ability and
capable of hard work in engineering, pilotage and navigation. Carleton's
residence, with General Bastide, introduced him to afEairs in Louisburg,
Annapolis, Liverpool and various colonies of the kingdom in North Amer-
ica. But with all of Carleton's associations with officers of the royal army
he kept close to the hearts of his countrymen, and on the outbreak of the
war for independence he was ready to render service.
Previous to the war of the Revolution Osgood Carleton was a surveyor
for a time of the New Hampshire Province and surveyed land in present
Vermont, of which at that time the jurisdiction was a source of heated
debate.
He was in his later years called upon to render valuable testimonyt con-
cerning lands in Lyndeborough, N. H., which he assisted in surveying.
Osgood Carieton was a patriot at the outbreak of the war for Indepen-
dence. He was present at Bunker Hill, where his brother David was slain.
During the first year of the war he was a sergeant in the company of Capt
John Wood, Col. Paul Dudley Sargent, and in 1776 was the quarter-master
of IGth Continental Infantry. Afterwards, he served as a lieutenant. His
physique, however, was such that he could not endure the hardships of
campaigns, and he was assigned to the Corps of Invalids. During the later
part of the war he was much occupied in bearing despatches between Bos-
ton and Philadelphia, and in carrying money from the treasury of the Bay
Province to the treasury of the Continental Congress, or to paymasters in
the field.
•In Murdock*8 History of Nova Scotia, ii : 66, writing of Louisburg in 1745, the au
thor nays of the New England militiamen : *' As might be expected from militia, a want
of order and discipline was very apparent in the New England troops. ♦ • ♦ ♦ • They
knew nothing of regular approaches, but took advantage of the night; and when thev
heard Mr. Bastide's proposals for zigzags and epaulements, they made merry witn
these terms of art and went on in their inartificial mode."
In July, 1762, Major-General J. H. Bastide was at Halifax and made a report in
council of war concerning the erection of batteries by the **20() men of Provincial
Kt-gimcnt.'* [Nova Scotia Archives, pp. 702-706.] lie was at Annapolis as late as
1769, when he was styled " Director and Lt. Colonel of Ordnance." [McDonoiigh's
Nova Scotia, ii : p. 498.] Ho was also styled Colonel, January 4, 1758, and Major-Gen-

General Bastide was no unimportant and insignificant man in the engineering skill
displayed in the years before the American Revolution. There may be literature upon
him, but it has not come to our knowledge. His career is certainly worth regarding.

54 Osgood Carleton. [Jan.
In 1794 the legislature, on the petition of leading members of the Mafi-
sachusetts Historical Society, required the towns of the Commonwealth to
prepare manuscript maps of their several bounds, and these were soon
placed in the care of Osgood Carleton, who constructed maps of Massachu-
setts, District of Maine. He had special charge of the surveying and
making of the map of Boston in 1795. The copper plates of these maps
in 1801 were placed in custody of the Massachusetts Historical Society.*
This map of 1795 is famous. The late Mr. William H. Whitmore caused its
republication by the city in the Record Commissioners' Reports, Volume 10.
The map of the District of Maine was issued in 1795. In Williamson's
Bibliography of Maine, ii., p. 27, is an item that this map in 1895 was ex-
posed for sale in London for £3. 10s. E^litions were also issued in 1798,
1799 and 1802 with slight additions of new town bounds and grants. Mr.
Carleton constructed a map of a large grant of land on the Penobscot
river. The map of Massachusetts was issued before January 30, 1798, on
which date the House of Representatives requested Mr. Carleton to furnish
two copies for their use.
Mr. Carleton as a cartographer has not been appreciated. He worked
amid discouragements. He did not possess the fine instruments of the Coast
Survey. His were crude indeed. As a pioneer in this most useful and
valuable service to the nation he deserves high honor. In 1810, he pub-
lished his ^* Practice of Arithmetic," which had a wide sale and use at the
time.
Osgood Carleton was an original member of the Society of Cincinnati of
Massachusetts, and, on the declaration of peace, settled in Boston. At
once his school for pure mathematics, surveying and navigation became
famous. His skill in these was recognized by the able military men of the
nation. For twenty-five years he presided over his private school to the
profit of merchants, marines and yeomanry of all New England. Among
his publications were the American Navigator in 1801, and the South Amer-
ican Pilot in 1804. In 1791, John Norman published a book, "The
American Pilot," which was certified to by Osgood Carleton, and it is pre-
sumed that much of its value was made by thus having the oversight and
certification of this eminent student. He prepared for a series of years al-
manacs whose astronomical calculations were accounted of value.
Osgood Carleton married Lydia Johnson of Haverhill, Mass. He died
in May or June, 1816, while on a visit to Lyndeborongh in New Hamp-
shire. His widow in her old age was granted a pension by the United States
government. The following named were their children :
1. Osgood West, b. May 9, 1783.
ii. John, b. Feb. 18, 1786.
iii. David, b. April 18, 1787.
A few of the private papers of Osgood Carleton yet remain, among them
his commission as lieutenant in the Continental Army, signed by John
Hancock, January 1, 1777, and his transference to the Corps of Invalids
November 3, 1779, signed by Samuel Huntington, and his appointment as
captain, November 27, 1783, signed by Thomas MifHin. Also there are
many receipts for money conveyed between Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Massachusetts and New Hampshire, amounting to near $40,000,000 Con-
tinental money ; also one receipt for SI 6,000,000 Continental money, old
emission, returned to Philadelphia to be destroyed.

1901.] Diary of Jeremiah Weare^ Jr. 55
There is a brief account of the career of Carleton in the History of the
Societj of Cincinnati of Massachusetts,* and slight mentions in other pub-
lications where the subject of the cartography of Boston is uppermost ; but
still there has been a scarcity of information as to where he obtained his
wide knowledge of engineering and navigation, and his great skill in sur-
veying. His residence in the home and as the clerk of General Bastide,
the eminent royal engineer, explains it.
DIAKY OF JEREMIAH WEAEE, JR., OF YORK, ME.
Transcribed by Samuel 6. Webber, M.D., of Boston.
This diary belongs to Mrs. Calvin Hutchins of East Boston. It
was given to her mother, Mrs. Olive (Witham) Jackson, by Jere-
miah Weare, Jr., of York, Me.
The diary is written on paper of two sizes. The outer sheets, being
the larger, have protected the smaller sheets, but are themselves
much worn on the edges, top and bottom, where they projected
beyond the others. On many pages the top lines, sometimes the
bottom lines, are entirely worn off. Where possible the missing
letters or words are supplied in brackets [ ] . Where there is doubt
as to a word, an interrogation point follows it in parenthesis. Most
of the entries in the diary were made by one person ; a few are in a
different hand\vriting, but evidently made at about the same time.
No effort has been made to distinguish between these. Other
entries, made after the death of Jeremiah Weare, Jr., are mentioned
as made by another hand. The original was stitched together, not
paged.
There was very little order in the entries. Later entries seem to
have been written in wherever there was a blank space for them.
Some were made at tlie time of the occurrence, others seem to have
been made later.
Much valuable genealogical data are given which probably cannot
easily be found elsewhere, as deaths were not systematically recorded ;
also the relationship of deceased persons is often mentioned, adding to
the value of the record.
In transcribing, the original division into pages is preserved as
well as the spelling and other peculiarities.
References to pages are to the pages of the diary, not to those of
this Journal. The first two pages were so much defaced that no
effort is made to reproduce them.
Jeremiah Weare, Jr., lived in York, Me., from 1757 to 1845.
He was a farmer, mariner ; built a vessel and commanded it, being
shipwrecked. He was one of the crew of a privateer ; served in the

Revolutionary army in the siege of Boston. He mentioDs his various
occupations, so that the reader can form a fairly good idea of his
varied life. He did not accumulate wealth, for he evidently was
very glad to receive the pension in his later years.
He had decidedly religious convictions, and evidently was an
earnest member of his church.
He was proud of his family descent, and in 1811 gave a brief
synopsis of it, and more detailed account of his own immediate
family, to the town clerk of York, which is now on file and can be
seen in his handwriting.
" Jeremiah Weare was born June 3, A.D. 1757. He was the son of
Jeremiah, which was the son of Joseph, who lived about 87 years, which
was the son of Elias who was said to be killed by the Indians near the east
end of long sands (so called) in York, which was the son of Peter who was
said to be killed when York was destroyed by the Indians.''

Brought forward
In a<ldition to the foregoing, the Female Society advanced three DoUars
and purchase<l the Baptismal Bason. Mrs. Eunice Richards gave the Table
cloth and two smaU Napkins, or towels. The whole furniture, in addition
to foregoing, consists of two large Tankard Pots, four Cups, two with
handles, and two small Platters.
Directions for cleansing the foregoing vessels.
Take a piece of fine woolen cloth ; upon this put as much sweet oil as
will prevent its rubbing dry ; with these rub them well on every part ; then
wipe them smartly with a soft dry linen rag, until they are quite clean, and
rub them off with soft wash-leather and whiting. N.B. If convenient, wash
them in boiling water and soap, just before they are rubbed with wash-
leather and whiting. This would take off the oil more effectually and make
the engraving look brighter.
Capt. Thomas Gould, procured the subscriptions, collected and paid over
the same to Mr. Royal Earl.

RICHARD WARREN OF THE MAYFLOWER, AND SOME
OF HIS DESCENDANTS.
By Mrs. "Washinoton A. Roeblino, of Trenton, New Jersey.
Richard AVarren, the first of the Warren name in America, sailed from
Plymouth, Eng., in the historic ** Mayflower," 6 September, 1620 (O. S.).
He was not ot the Leyden Company, but joined the Pilgrims from Lon-
don,* and he was one of the signers of the Compact framed in the cabin
of the " Mayflower " while in Cape Co<l Ilarlwr, which was the first plat-
form of civil government in the new world, and which converted the band of
unknown adventurers into an immortal Commonwealth. Morton, in his
New England's Memorial, prints his name as twelfth in the list of signers,
and Prince in his New England Chronology adds the honorable prefix of
" Mr." from the Register at the end of BradfonVs folio manuscript He
was one of the third exploring party which was surprised by the Indians,t
18 DecoinlK-r, 1620, at the spot since known as "The First Encounter/'^
and, tech uicjilly speaking, he was one of the first to land at Plymouth, 21
December, 1620, on what might be called the birth-day of New England.
Under tlie land division of 1623, Richard Warren's apportionreient, at
one of the ** Mayflower" passengers, fell in the north side of the towTi with
• Arber's Story of the Pilgrim Fathers, 355. \

1901.] Richard Warr$n of the Mayflower. 71
TTilb'am White, Edward Winslow, John Goodman, John Cracks ton, John
Alden, Marie Chilton, Captain Myles Standish, Francis Eaton, Henry
Sampson and Humilitie Cooper* ; and under those who came in the
**Aiin," his lands were "on the other side of the towne towards Eele
River," where he made his home, in the section later known as Wellings-
ley or Hobshole, and where he died in 1628. He also owned land along
the shore of the present Warren's Cove.t
He was one of the nineteen signers of the Compact who survived the first
winter. A cotemporaneous authority described him as *^ grave Richard
Warren," " a man of integrity, justice and uprightness, of piety and serious
leligion," and as " a useful instrument during the short time he lived,
bearing a deep share in the difficulties and troubles of the plantation." (
He married in England, Elizabeth ,§ who followed him to Ply-
mouth in the "Ann" in 1623, accompanied by her daughters. Mrs.
Warren was rated in the Plymouth tax list of 1632-3, and was one of the
first purchasers of Dartmouth. A study of the early Plymouth records
leads to the conclusion that she was a woman of force and social position in
the community, and she is therein usually spoken of as " Mistress " Eliza-
beth Warren, a designation by no means common. And she is one of the
rare instances in that early colony of continued widowhood. A glimpse of
one side of her domestic life is to be had in connection with the prosecution
• Plymouth Colony Records, XII., 4-6.
t Davie's Landmarks of Plymouth, part I., 327.
i Morton's New England Memorial.
f Her maiden name is not known. In the Warren Genealogy, published in 1854 by
Dr. John Collins Warren, her name is given as £lizabeth Juatt. While it is true that
a certain Richard Warren of Greenwich in Kent married Elizabeth, daughter of
Irat and widow of Marsh, as appears in the 1620 visitation of Devon, there is no
proof that that Richard Warren is the one who came to Plymouth. The late Horatio
Gates Somerby, who supplied the abstracts and copies of English records used by Dr.
Warren, told mc not nianv years before his death that he did not see proof sheets of Dr.
Warren's book, and that he did not identify the Richard Warren of Plymi»iith and the
John Warren of Watertown as the Richard and the John Warren of the Devoushiro
visitation. In the tabular pedigree at the end of Ur. Warren's book, he has assumed
that the Richard and John of the visitation pedigree were the New England men. At
the time when that book was published it was not unusual to assume connection with
English families on evidence as slight as the similarity of names. Modern critical re-
searches have overthrown many ot such assumptions.
In this same tabular pedigree }*eter Warren of Boston (great grand-father of Gen.
Joseph Warren, who was killed at Bunker Hill), is given as the son of John Warren of
Watertown. The late Dr. Henry Bond, compiler of Watertown Genealogies, told me
that he had found ample proof that Peter Warren was not the son of John oi Watertown.
-John Ward Dean.
In 1872 the Harlcian Society published an edition of the Devonshire Visita-
tion of 1620, and in this edition the much discussed Warren pedigree appeared,
wUh the statement, " Inserted by later hand." That it was not the work of the
▼isUing: heralds of 1G20, and that the John and Richard, named as sons of
Christopher Warren of the pedigree, are not identical with Richard Warren of
the Mayflower, and John Warren of Watertown, is clear from the following
facts: Christopher Warren married Alice Webb, 15 June, 1613. His second
•OB, John, was born In 1617, hence not the John Warren, " aged about 45 years,"
who emigrated to Massachusetts in 1630, in the fleet with Saltonstall, and be-
came the founder of the Warrens of Watertown. Richard, the third son of
Christopher Warren, was baptized at Sydenham Dararell, 15 August, 1619, and
was five } ears younger than his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth March, who was not
liceoaed .o marry her first husband until 1629. The license reads: "March,
Francis, irent., of Stepney, bachelor, 26, and Elizabeth Ivatt of St. Botolph,
Aldgate, spinster, 15, daughter of Oliver Ivatt, deceased, consent of Hujjh Bour-
man her father (in law), at Westham, Essex, 20 August, 1629." (London Mar-
riage Lfdeuses.) This first marriage of Elizabeth (Ivatt) March was (iue year
after Ki :hard Warren, the Mayflower Pilgrim, had died at Plymouth, Mas-
■dimet :.s. — J. Grai^ville Leach.

72 Richard Warren of the Mayflower. [Jan.
by the General Court of her servant, Thomas Williams, 5 July, 1635, for
<* speaking profane & blasphemous speeches against y^ majestie of God."
'< There being some dissention between him and his dame, she after other
dungs, exhorted him to fear God <& doe his duty."* Upon the marriage
of her daughters, Mrs. Warren conveyed to their respective husbands certain
lands, variously located at Eel River and Wellingsly.f She died at Ply-
mouth, 2 October, 1673, aged above ninety years. For some unknown
reason, unless there is a mistake in the record, she was not buried until the
twenty-«econd day after her death, when it was entered on the records that
she, '* haueing lined a godly life, came to her graue as a shoke of com fully
ripe."t

THE MOORE FAMILIES OF LITCHFIELD AND MERRI-
MAC, N. H.
By. Hon. Ezra S. Stbarns, A.M., of Rindge, N. H.
An outline of the early generations of the Moore families of Londonderry >
New Hampshire, is found in the Register, October number, 1897. Among
the Scotch-Irish emigrants to New Hampshire, 1718-1750, were other
families of Moore who became residents of the State. The families of
Moore of an earlier date, residing in and near Portsmouth, demand notice
which would exceed the limits of this article.
1. Majok Samukl^ Moore appears in Litchfield soon after 1730. In a
suit of Goffe ys. Follansbee, 1750, he testified that he had resided in Litch-
field since 1731. He was one of a committee to build the meeting-house in
Litchfield, and was treasurer of the town 1 735. He lived in the northern
part of the town and several miles from the main settlement, and possibly
this fact excused him from continued service in town affairs. During the
French and Indian war his service was conspicuous. He was a lieutenant
in the company of Capt. John Goffe of Col. Joseph Blanchard's regiment,
1755. Very few of the rolls of New Hampshire regiments, 1758 and 1759,
are preserved, but papers in the State archives represent that he was a cap-
tein 1758, and a major in Col. John Goffe*s regiment 1759, which marched
by way of Springfield to Albany and participated in the capture of Quebec.

He married Deborah Butterfield, who was the mother of his seven children.
I find no record of her death. He married second, Mary Colbum, widow
of Capt. Thomas Colbnm of Hudson. Capt. Colbum was killed bj light-
ning, Aug. 20, 1765. After his marriage he removed to Hudson. He was
last taxed in Litchfield, 1766. He was a selectman of Hudson 1770, and a
signer of the Association Test 1776. He died in Hudson, 1784* There
is a tradition often met in the Merrimack Valley that his original name was
Hogg and that he secured a change to Moore. I find no proof in Massa-
chusetts or New Hampshire to sustain the tradition. There is oral testi-
mony that several other families of same name made a similar diange of
names. It is a subject of record that Thomas, William, James and Hugh,
sons of James Hogg of Bedford, by legislative sanction, changed their names
to Moore, and from this fact vexatious traditions had an origin.
Children of Major Samuel and Deborah (Butterfield) Moore :
i. OuvR«* b. April 13, 1729; m. Peletiah Russell. He was a lieutenant

Rebecca Goffe, a sister of the wife of his brother John. He was
styled ens^ in 1775 and captain in later years. He lived in Derry-
field, now Manchester, where he died July 23, 1812. Rebecca his
wife was bom Dec. 15, 1742 ; died June 25, 1823.
Children of Capt Samuel and Rebecca (Goffe) Moore:
i. Reuben,* b. Jan. 16, 1768, was taxed a few years in Derryfield.
11. Esther, b. Aug. 7, 1764.

vil. John, b. July 19. 1778.
viii. Stephen, b. March 18, 1781.
iz. Deborah, b. June 16, 1783.
It will be noted that two of the sons of Major Samuel Moore married
daughters of Col. John Goffe, and two married daughters of James Walker
and granddaughters of Col. John Goffe.
Dea. James Moore, by occupation a miller, settled in Merrimac,
N. H., at an early date. Litchfield and Merrimac were settled in
part by concerted action, and there is an unsupported tradition that
Maj. Samuel and Dea. James Moore were brothers, settling on
opposite sides of the river. In 1770 Dea. James Moore was deceased,
and his widow Isabel is named in the probate records. In 1759
Isabel Moore, wife of James Moore, and Rebecca Moore join in de-
position. In 1771 Thomas McClary of Londonderry joins with the
widow and three children in the conveyance of land belonging to
James Moore deceased. Perhaps McClary married a daughter not
named below.
Children, so far as known, of Dea. James and Isabel Moore :
i. James. The name of his wife was Martha. He was selectman of
Merrimac, 1750. It is possible that he settled in Antrim about
1776. See History of Antrim.
!i. John, was living in Bedford 1771.
iii. Jennet, unm. 1771.
John Moore and wife Margaret settled in Bedford previous to 1742.
He was a town officer 1755, 1761, 1764, 1773, and signed the
Association Test 1776. It is probable that this John and John 29,
son of Dea. James, are the same.
Children of John and Margaret Moore :
i. Jambs, b. July 29, 1739. Recorded In Bedford " bom In Cheley."
11. Daniel, b. March 2, 1742.
iii. David, b. Nov. 24, 1746. Lived a few years in Bedford. By wife
Jennet had: 1. Isabel, b. Nov. 11, 1773. 2. John, b. Dec. 23,
1776. 3. Margaret, b. March 3, 1778.
iv. Mary, b. Feb. 4, 1748.
V. William, b. April 16, 1762. He lived In Bedford until 1780 or later.
By wife Martha had: 1. Daniel, b. Dec. 7, 1776. 2. Jenny, b.
July 14, 1779.

ALEXANDER WILLIAMS.
By the Rev. George M. Adams, D.D.
Alexander Williams was born in his grandfather's house, Fort
Hill, Boston, August 24, 1818, and died in Boston, January 11,
1900. He was a descendant of exclusively New England families,
and inherited the vigorous qualities of Pilgrim and Revolutionary
sires.
A headstone in the Old Granary Burial Ground in Boston bears
the name of " Marjary," the wife of Robert Williams, who died
August 31, 1723. Of this Robert and Marjary, Alexander was a
direct descendant, as follows : — Robert* and Marjary, Robert,' bom
April 30, 1691, and Sarah (Pierce), Robert* and Ann (Boylston),
Captain Robert* and Bethia (Pearce), Robert Pearce* and Nancy
Bliss (Whitney), Alexander.' A "Robert Williams" was one of
the early settlers of Boston and was admitted a freeman in 1640.
His name appears frequently in the records of the town of Boston
and in the records of the First Church, and his death is mentio ned
in Sewall's Diary. There is much reason to suppose that he was
the father of Robert, the husband of Marjary, but positive evidence
is lacking.
Captain Robert Williams* was a graduate of Harvard College,
was for a time Principal of the Latin School in Roxbury, and
served in the continental army through the entire war of the Revo-
lution. He was a member of the Massachusetts Society of the Cin-
cinnati and for some years its Treasurer. He was a man of great
energy and led a varied and adventurous life. In 1792, on a voy-
age to the East Indies, he was wrecked on the Arabian coast five
hundred miles from Muscat. All the ship's company were plun-
dered and stripped by the Arabs, but attempted to make their way
to Muscat over burning sands of the desert and precipitous moun-
tains. On the ninth day Captain Williams's strength gave out ; he
became unconscious and was lefl to die, his companions covering
him with branches of thorns to keep off the jackals. He, however,
regained consciousness, and as he says in a letter, "made up his
mind that he would not die." He managed to crawl some miles to
a pool of water where he caught some frogs and so sustained him-
self for several days, when an Arab came to the pool to water his
camel and enabled Captain Williams to reach Muscat. His wife,
Bethia (Pearce) Williams, was a great granddaughter of Abram
Pearce, one of the Pilgrims of the Mayflower, and a daughter of
David Pearce, an eminent merchant of Gloucester.
liobert Pearce Williams* inherited what was known in the family
as the " Pearce amiability." He was a good man in every sense of
the word. His religious convictions were very strong; indeed from

his diary, his religion would seem to have been the major part of
his life. Nancy Bliss Whitney of Belchertown, Massachusetts, the
mother of our associate, was descended from tlie hardy frontiersmen
of our early history, some of her ancestors being noted Indian fight-
ers. There is still in the family a table from which Mrs. Williams
has told her children she often saw the Indians being fed by her
grandmother.
Alexander Williams was named after Et. Eev. Alexander Vieta
Griswold, Bishop of Connecticut, a dear friend of his father, who
mentions him in his diary as a "prince among men." Of the early
life of the lad we know but little, save that it was the usual life of
a Boston boy of the period. He used to tell of Thanksgiving festi-
vals at the old mansion of his grandfather on Fort Hill, and of sing-
ing with the school children on the Common when Lafayette visited
Boston. He attended the old Mayhew school up to the age of
thirteen or fifteen, and this, so far as is known, comprised the whole
of his early educational advantages.
His father and his uncle, Charles Williams, had a book store on
Cornhill, and here, at the age of twelve, the son began work out of
school hours. Three years later he went to New York into the
book store of Bliss and Wadsworth. Elam Bliss, the senior mem-
ber of the firm, was half-brother to the young man's mother. Mr.
Bliss was on intimate terms with William Cullen Bryant, Gulian
Crommelin Verplanck, Robert Charles Sands and otlier prominent
literary men, and they were often in the store. Under these favor-
able conditions, young Williams gained his business education. In
the panic ycJir of 1836, his father, through endorsing for a friend,
failed in business, and removed to St. Louis, where the son soon
followed him. Alexander obtained an excellent position with a
prominent French firm of commission merchants and auctioneers.
Early in his clerkship he was called upon to assist in the sale of a
colored woman and child, which was so revolting to him that he
gave up his situation, liis employer saying to him that with such
sentiments he had better not try to do business in St. Louis. Soon
after tliis his mother died, his sisters married, and with his younger
brothers removed one after another to California. Alexander sel-
dom saw them again, but maintained constant correspondence with
them and, accepting the position of the head of the family, was an
affectionate adviser and helper to them and their children to the end
of his life.
In 1841 he returned to Boston, which was ever after his home.
He was for a short time in the employ of the Boston and Worcester
Eailroad Company, under his uncle, Horace Williams, Treasurer
of the corporation. Then he entered into partnership with George
W. Redding in the sale of newspapers and periodicals in a " box of
a shop " on the north side of State street, opposite the old State
House. The business grew rapidly imder Mr, Williams's tact and

energy. After fifteen years in the partnership, Mr, Williams sold
out his interest to Mr. Redding and established himself in the book
and periodical business under the name of A. Williams and Com-
pany, at No. 100 Washington street, where the Advertiser building
now stands.
Mr. Williams was a pioneer in developing the periodical business
in New England. In the eadier days of his business career " there
was no such thing as despatch in sending the magazines and papers
over the country. He organized methods of his own for this pur-
pose. It was by his enterprise that people in the towns of Maine,
New Hampshire and Western Massachusetts, and finally as far
away as Canada, were able to receive the weekly newspapers and
the magazines, the day after their publication." He was the first
person in New England to organize the sale of the London maga-
zines and illustrated papers. "He began with small lots of the
papers brought out to him by the pursers of the steamships. These
finding a ready sale, he soon established direct connection with
the English publishers. He addressed himself to this department
of bis business with such activity and zeal that it increased rapidly,
and before very long his London accounts were averaging more
than three hundred pounds sterling a month." The little shop on
State street was a bustling place on steamer days. " The British
flag was displayed at the doorway to signify that the foreign news-
papers were on the counter. The signal was invariably followed by
a rush of customers, for the news was often fourteen, and sometimes
twenty-one, days later than previous accounts."
In 1869 Mr. Williams removed to the Old Comer Bookstore,
comer of Washington and School streets, succeeding Messrs. E. P.
Dutton and Company. Under his wise methods and genial pres-
ence the store continued to be a resort for the reading public. "He
graciously maintained the literary flavor of the place and made wel-
come every man and woman of letters who crossed its worn old
threshold." As Mr. Bacon pleasantly records, ''he gave the cus-
tomer the freedom of the shop, allowing him to browse among the
books, and lead himself into the temptation of buying." One or
more of the literary men of the day were often to be seen lounging
along the counters. "Holmes was a regular habitue to the last
days of his life. Parkman*s was a familiar figure. Motley, after
his final return home from the English mission, sat in the Old Cor-
ner by the front window and remarked that it was the one natural
spot he had found, for so changed had the town become, that he felt
himself almost a stranger in it."
^ Mr. Williams was widely known as a pamphlet publisher, but
a few very substantial volumes have borne his imprint. He was a
man of historical tastes, and Commodore Preble's ' History of the
Flag,' King's ' Warships and Navies of the World,' and 'Davis's
History of Plymouth,' in all of which he took a personal interest,
testify to some of the good work he did in this direction."
94 Alexander Williams. [Jan.
It was his own conviction that the best work he had done in hia
business career was in making good literature accessible to the com-
mon people. He was one of the pioneers in introducing cheaper
editions of standard works and putting books and magazines of high
character within the reach of persons of limited means. " Mr. Wil-
liams was a bookseller of the old type, who knew at least the regu-
lar customers, and they themselves knew him. He was a genial
man, delightfully reminiscent as he grew old. In the comfortable
well-stocked library of his Back Bay home he had many choice
things, for he was an intelligent and judicious collector ; and it was
a rare pleasure to him to display them to an appreciative visitor.*'
He was a genuine Bostonian, proud of his birth on old Fort Hill,
proud of his descent from the old families of New England, proud
of the heroism of his Revolutionary sires.
He retired from business in 1882, but he always kept up a kindly
interest in the old store, and was often there. He was slow to wean
himself from the business habits of fifty years. He had the publish-
ers' catalogues sent to him and continued to study them as diligently
as ever. He spent much time in traveling, making two or three
trips to California and repeated journeys to Europe with the daugh-
ter who was his constant companion.
Mr. Williams was a member of the New-England Historic Genea-
logical Society, elected in 1858. In his earlier years he was very
much interested in the Mercantile Library Association, and he re-
tained his interest in it as long as he lived. He was a member of
the Boston Art Club, and a corresponding member of the New York
Historical Society. He was one of the charter members of the Re-
vere (Masonic) Lodge, formed in 1856. For twenty years he was
one of the standing committee of the Society of the Cincinnati of
Massachusetts.
He married, March 13, 1844, Miss Elizabeth Collier of Cohasset,
daughter of Captain James and Sally (Lincoln) Collier. She died
in 1880, leaving four children. A daughter, Helen, died before
her mother at the age of five years. The oldest son, Robert, died
in 1898, and Alexander, Charles Collier and Mary Lewis survive
their father.
Mr. Williams leaves behind him a precious memory in many
hearts. Perhaps business associates and casual acquaintances would
name as his chief characteristics, — an alertness and vigor remarkable
even in a typical New England business man, combined with a
charming graciousness of manner ; and an indomitable courage,
which only rose higher the more diflSculties he had to encounter.
But those who knew him best, find in the deep tenderness of his na-
ture, in his high sense of honor, in his unswerving allegiance to jus-
tice and truthfulness, and in the profound religious faith which,
though never paraded, was really the foundation of his character,
the qualities that most endeared him to them and make the remem-
1901*] Oleanings from English Archives. 95
brance of his life a benediction. He seems to have inherited the un-
bending force of character, the resolute purpose, which saved his
grandfather. Captain Robert Williams, from perishing in the Ara-
bian desert. This carried him successfully through the severe strug-
gles of his early business career, and the same strong will in his last
years withstood the power of disease and added months to his life.
"I think," said one who stood near to him, "that he placed charac-
ter above all other aims in this world, feeling that material aims in
life are but subordinate to this. A man who did what was right
because it was right and from no other motive ; in fact, he did his
duty."
The following lines are copied from a well-worn slip which was
found in Mr. Williams's pocket-book after his decease :
Out of myself, dear Lord,
O, lift me up !
Ko more I trust myself in life's dim maze,
Sufficient to myself in all its devious ways.
I trust no more, but humbly at Thy throne
Pray " Lead me, for I cannot go alone."
Out of my weary self,
O, lift me up I
I faint ; the road winds upward all the way.
Each night but ends another weary day.
Give me Thy strength, and may I be so blest
As on " the heights " to find the longed-for rest.
Out of my lonely self,
O, lift me up !
Though other hearts with love are running o'er.
Though dear ones fill my lonely home no more.
Though every day I miss the fond caress.
Help me to join in others' happiness.
Out of my doubting self,
O, lift me up !
Help me to feel that Thou art always near,
E'en though 'tis night and all around seems drear ;
Help me to know that, though I cannot see,
It is my Father's hand that leadeth me 1
GENEALOGICAL GLEANINGS AMONG THE ENGLISH
ARCHIVES.
Communicated by J. IIenrt Lea, Esq.
[Continued from volume 64, page 339.]
In the wills, parish register extracts, and other evidences which follow,
I have great pleasure in laying before the readers of the Register (by the
kiod permission of Mrs. William Gaston, on whose behalf the researches
96 Oleanings from English Archives. [Jan.
were nndertaken), indubitable proof of the £nglbh anceBtrj of Captain
Timothy Prout of Boston, a well known and highly esteemed citizen,* whose
grandson of the same name, removing to Saco in the now State of Maine,
bequeathed his name to his purchase of the Cammock Patent at Black
Point, now Prout's Neck,t and, it is probable, was instrumental in giving
the name of his grandfather's birthplace to the neighboring town of Bidde-
ford.
It may be noted that, while Timothy Prout of Boston was dearly th5
Timothy son of William and grandson of Hugh Prout of Bideford in
Devon, the researches made show that the family were not indigenous to
that place, but that the putative father of Hugh, Thomas Prout, who died
there in 1561, was the first of the name to settle there. Now there are
two quite distinct focii of Prouts, from a very ancient date, in the West
Country (the name being rare in all other parts of the Kingdom), viz., in
Gloucester and Cornwall, the latter having their chief seat in and about
Launceston in that County, and from this last family I inclme to belie re
that our Biddeford and New England Prouts have sprung, from the indica-
tions given by Christian and family names as, for example, the Worthen
connection, shown in the wills of Hugh and Joan Prout of Bideford and
the Chancery Proceeding of Prout v$. Billing which follow, and other in-
ternal evidence, which an examination of the parish registers in Launce-
ston and vicinity will no doubt verify. It should also be remembered that
there was a family of Prowse in this same neighborhood which might easily
be confused with the Prouts, J and who were, no doubt, originally of cog-
nate stock. In view of the probable future connection of all these Corn-
wall and Devon folk it has seemed best to print all of the wills found,
both in the Local and Prerogative Courts, of persons of the name, but
omitting Prowse, Pruett, Proude, etc., with whom no connection could be
traced.
It seems more than a mere coincidence that the first Capt Timothy
Prout sliould have commanded a vessel named the ** Increase," when viewed
in connection with the marriage of his sister in 1616 to Richard Ley, and
compared with the well known ship Increase of London, Robert Lea mas-
ter, whose name occurs so frecjuently about 1 635 as bringing passengers to
New England, § as, while it is hardly probable that it was the same vessel,
it might readily l>e conjectured that the later was named for an earlier one
owned by a family connection. The recurrence of the names of Susan
and Eunice, mother and sister of Timothy, among his descendants, would
be almost sufficient to confirm our belief in his identity ; but his age, as
given at a deposition in 1661 as forty,] and again as " over 80 " at his death
in 1702, leaves no room for doubt in the case.
For vahiable advice and aid in these researches I have to thank my es-
teemed friend and correspondent, Mrs. F. B. Troup of Offwell House,
Honiton.

Peperell vs. Prout. Bill Dated 31 May, 1625.
Your Orator Williiun Peperell of St. Stephens by Lanceston, co. Corn-
wall, yeoman, sheweth that, Whereas your Orator is 8(iised of an estate of
inheritance consisting of divers messajiges and lands, &c. in sjud parish and
of term in Ituids called Pegland, als. Peggaland there, for 40 years, to
commence after the death of Edith, now wife of Degory Martin of St
Stephens, yeoman ; and about 3 years lust past has taken the profits of
said estate to his own use. But now soe it is one Thomas Prout of St.
Thomas by Lanceston, clerk, and ^Vgnes his wife, and the said Degory and
Edith Marten, have gotten into tlieir possession divers uTitings and evi-
dence and also said lease of 40 years, and refuse to deliver up the same
though gently requested and have conveyed amongst themselves divers estates
in tlu; lands, unknown to your Orator.
Joint Answer of all the Defendants Dated 18 June 1 Clias.
Thomas and Agnes Prowt do not know Orators' status in the land called
Pegland ; Th(jy liave no writings as alleged.
Degory and Edith Marten say that KolK>rt Peperell, Orator's grand-
father, vviis 8eise<l of tenements in the Borough of Newport and parish of
St. Stephen and before his death, viz. alx>ut 4 yeiu*s since, he made a con-

veyance thereof to himself for life, with remainder to Orator and heirs
male of his body, with contingent remainder to Robert Peperell, Orator's
brother, in tail male, and to Christopher Peperell, another brother, in tail
male ; One Christopher Peperell, dec*d.. Orator's father, and late husband
of defendant Edith, held a term of 40 years to commence after death of
himself and said Edith in Pegland, by grant of one Thomas Gewen, which
term he assured (as defendent Edith has heard him say) to his sons Robert
and Christopher. The said Christopher dec'd. made a Nuncupative Will
and made said Edith his Executrix. Within two or three days of his death,
his son, the Orator, brought a written paper to defendant Edith and en-
treated her to seal same, which she did, not knowing the contents thereof.
She proved the will. Since her marriage with defendant Degory, there
have been differences with orator about lands called Pegland, which was
composed by mediation of one Richard Gedy, Esq., and one William Cour-
tier, when it was agreed Edith should make a conveyance devised by one
Phillip King, gent., of said lands to Orator, for so many of the 40 years as
Orator should outlive Edith, Orator paying his said brothers £10, and
Defts. to deliver all Deeds to said William Courtier. They are ready to
do so as soon as Orator pays the £10, but are unwilling to give them up
to Orator because he has no issue male and they have heard that Orator or
his wife have given out that they would convey the lands away from Robert
and Christopher aforesaid, Edith's sons.

This Abigail Hammond was probably the first wife of Lieut. John Hammond
of Watertown, Mass., who died IGGd. Hannah Phillips might possibly have
been the first wiffe of Rev. George Phillips, of Watertown, who is said to have
died in Salem, or she may have been the wife of Henry Phillips who removed
from Watertown to Dedham. It will \ye noticed that the names of the wit-
nesses to this Will are both of Watertown families. The name ** Bazal "
Angler occurs as a witness in the suit of Shearman vs. Hammond mentioned in
Bond's Hist, of AVat., pp. 778-9. This suit was brought to recover the price
of two pieces of broadcloth, from the estate of Thomas Hammond, deceased, a
brother of Lieut. John Hammond. Evidence accumulates connecting the
family of Hammonds, who were among the first settlers in Watertown, with
Dedham, Co. E^^sex, Eng., and it now seems probable that they came to
America from that place, although they may have formerly lived at Lavenham,
Co. Sutfolic, as stated by Bond and others.
The writer would be pleased to receive any further information bearing on
the families mentioned above. F. S. Hammond.

George Salter of Dedham, Essex, grazier, in his will, proved IS July, 1654,
mentlous his daughters, Abigail and Hannah, in New England ; and speaks of
them as both married, and if they either had no children, the share was to go
one half to the other and half to his son Theophllus. (N. E. Hist. Register,
xlviil., 128.)
Theophllus Salter was In Ipswich In 1648, and, without doubt, his sisters came
with him or arrived shortly after. Nicholas Phillips of Boston, shopkeeper,
married, 4 Dec, 1651, Hannah Salter. In regard to the Hammonds there is
no question as to their coming from Lavenham, Suffolk. Evidence is plentiful
and conclusive. William Hammond of Watertown left his mother there and,
on her death, he held rights in lands from the Lord of the Manor at Lavenham*
John Hammond, the son of William, came with his father when young, and like
his brother-in-law Phillips, met Abigail Salter and married her In New England,
and their first child, John, was born at Watertown 3 Feb., 1653-4.
There Is an evident error In the statements, that the widow of George Salter
was Mary, as in the above extract the name is Elizabeth ; the children men-
tioned are identical. Walter K. Watkins.

Geokor Clark. 8r. and Jr.— Since the publication of the October [1900 r
pages 384-889] number of the Register, my attention has been called to the fact
that In Volume III. of Salisbury's "Family Histories and Genealogies" occur
some notes on the families of Clark, which gWc a very diflcreut list of children
for the two George Clarks, assigning to George Clark, Jr., most of those as-
signed to George Clark, Sr., by Mr. Smyth. The Salisbury notes also attribute
different titles, &c., to the two men, than are given In the Register article, and
call George Clark, Sr., *• Deacon." This is a proof of the danger of confusion
of the two families, spoken of in Mr. Smyth's notes, for two independent work-
ers have come to directly opposite conclusions in regard to the families.
Other additions and corrections furnished me are: 1st, that the wife of &
Thomas* was Hannah Gibbard, not Gilbert. 2d, that the wife of 10 Deacon
Joseph' was Mary, daughter of Josiah and Sarah (Canfield) Piatt. 8d, that 10
Deacon Joseph's son. Hi. Joseph,* married Mary, daughter of Andrew Sanford,
and had children who settled in New Milf ord ; and 4th, that Treat Genealogy^

Lawrence Washington (Register, llv., 449). — Cooper, In his Athene^ Canta-
hrigiensesj ii., 387, says, that he was of Lancashire, matriculated as a pensioner
of S. John's College in November, 1559, proceeded B.A. 1563-4, and on 11 April,
1565, was admitted a Fellow on Mr. Ashton's foundation. He proceeded B.A.,
1567; B.D., 1574. Ashton*s name appears in Fuller as fifth in the list of bene-
factors to the College. Ashton was Comptroller to the household of Lady Mar-
garet (Beaufort) , Countess of Richmond and Derby, the foundress of the College,
a native of Lancashire, and at the time of his death, in 1522, Archdeacon of
York. The monument to Archdeacon Ashton in the Chapel of S. John's College,
with his rebus, an ash growing out of a tun, is well known to all lovers of
Cambridge. As he was of the same county as Lawrence Washington, and pos-
sibly of one of the two well-known houses of Ashton of Middleton, and Ashton
of Downham, the family history may be worth following up.
This Lawrence Washington is a different person from President George's
ancestor of the same name, a landowner at Sulgrave, Northamptonshire, who
In conjunction with one Thomas Stuttesbury of the same parish, about the year
1552 bought a bell from the church wardens for xvj li. The bargain, however,
waa never completed. J. J. Raven, D.D., F.S.A.

The Expedition to the Havana was made by England against Spain.
After the capture of Quebec, Canada, by the English from the French in 1769,
Spain declared war against England, and as Cuba then belonged to Spain, this
expedition was sent out by England In May, 1762, and arrived before Havana,
Jane 6, 1762 ; a large portion of the troops being drawn from the American
Colonies; Massachusetts and Connecticut furnishing more than four thousand.
Havana was captured on Aug. 14, 1762, with comparatively small loss in action
oo the side of England ; but sickness made fearful havoc ; all the above being
victims to it. The last on the above list was my great-grandfather. Sec Conn.

110 Notes and QuerieB. [Jan.
Historical Andoykr. — DDiing the last fiv^e years an interesting series of
articles on ** Historical Andover/' Massachusetts, has been running at irregular
intervals in the Andifver Tovonsman ; and they have now reached a number con-
siderably above one hundred. Such articles in a weekly newspaper are apt to
be overlooked, and for that reason I wish to call the attention of antiquaries
and genealogists to their value. Samuel A. Orkbn.

Inkerson-Sfencer. — In a note under an abstract of the Will of Richard Ink-
erson in Vol. 54 (p. 843) of the Register, after mention of the marriage of
Richard Ingersoll to Agnes Langley, is added : ** We know that she was a cou-
sin of John Spencer of Newbury, and that makes him a probable connection of
the Connecticut Spencers, who are supposed to originate in Bedfordshire."
It is true that the Connecticut Spencers trace their English ancestry to Bed-
fordshire, but it has been ascertained that the English home of John Spenser
of Newbury, who returned to England in 1638, was Kingston upon Thames in
the County of Surrey, where he died, as appears by the entry in the Parish Reg-
ister of his burial, June 23, 1648, as also that of his brother Thomas Spenser,
mentioned in his will, June 29, 1648. An abstract of the will of this Thomas
Spenser Is in Vol. 44 of the Register, page 390-1.
The identity of John Spenser of Newbury with the John Spenser buried at
Kingston upon Thames is established by reference both in his will and that of
said Thomas Spenser to **my brother Nicholas Kidwell."

Queries.
Hardon, Haraden.— In his Harding Family (IV. Genealogical Register of
Several Ancient Puritans) Morse states that David Hardon, 1715-1792, of Nor-
ton and Mansfield, was eldest son of Edward' Haraden (Edward*, Edward*) of
Gloucester, and born presumably at Gloucester in 1715, since Edward' was there
married, January 13, 1713, and had children there whose births are recorded be-
ginning 1718, among whom was William*, born Dec. 3, 1721, who married, Sept.
10, 1750, Abigail Gray at Norton. Is there any proof that David was the son of
Edward' or brother of William*?
Jonathan* Burr (John,' John,* Simon*), 1731-1797, married Martha Cud-
worth, daughter of Israel Cud worth. Who were Israel's wife and parents ?
Major Jonathan* Haward (John*) married Sarah Dean. Who were her
parents?
AVho was Sarah, wife of Recompense* Wadsworth (Ebenezer,' Samuel,*
Christopher*), and who was Mary, wife of Ebenezer*?

Dickinson Ancestry.— Wanted, the ancestry of Jonathan Dickinson, bom
1785, and his brother Samuel, born (?). They were natives of one of the New
England States, probably Massachusetts. About 1815, Jonathan settled near
New Brunswick, New Jei'sey, where he married Abigail Cox. Samuel went
south and settled at Russell Settlement, Alabama. Information with regard to
the ancestry of these two brothers would be most gratefully received by
428 E. State St., Trenton, N. J. Anne Virginia Dickinson.
Ephraim Newell, bom Feb. 11, 1742-^, at Attleborough, Mass. Is he the
same Ephraim who lived at Dalton, Mass., until about 1800, and then moved to
Hlghgate, Vt., dying there In 1820? Also names of his descendants.

further information about Edward* White, Jr., born in Wrentham, Mass., in
1772? His father, born in Dorchester, Mass., was Edward* White (Edward*,
Edward', James*, Edward^). In an old bible which belonged to the sister of
Edward White, Jr.. is recorded the following:— Edward, Jr., married Susanna
Jaclcson, 1794. Children: Lucinda', born 1794, married Montgomery White,
Oct., 1816. Lydia% born March 24, 1796, died July 6, 1818. Edward^ born Sept.

member hearing their parents speak of Edward, Jr., having gone ^* up country."
Would like very much to locate him and his descendants.

BuzzELL, 9.— Ancestry of Patience Doggett. See Rbqibtkr, Vol. L., p. 224.
Patience Daggett, born aboat 1670 ; died Oct. 11* 1760, in her 90th year. She mar-
ried Samnel Annable, April 11,1 695. She was the daughter of Capt . Thomas and
Hannah (Mayhew; Daggett, of Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard, Mass. Thomas
Daggett died in 1691, betireen April 13 and Sept. 15. He was the son of John
Daggett, who was bom in England and came to New England with Gk>y. Win-
throp in 1630, and his first wife. Jolm Daggett was one of the first proprietors
of Martha's Vineyard, liaving received a grant of land in Edgartown, December
1st, A. D. 1642. He removed to Plymouth, where he married his second wife,
Bathsheba Prat, widow, August 29, 1667, and died there hi May, 1673.
Hannah (May hew) Daggett was the daughter of Thomas May hew, who was
made Governor of Martha's Vineyard in July, 1671, and held that office until
his death, March 24 (or 25), 1682, a period of nearly eleven years; and hia
second wife, Jane ( ) Paine, widow of Thomas Paine. Hannah Mayhew
was bom in Watertown, 15 4th mo., 1635. She married Thomas Daggett about
1657, and had ten or eleven children, — five sons, whose names were ThomaSt
Samuel, John, Joshua and Israel. The rest were daughters. Daughter Jemi-
mah married, November 27, 1682, Thomas* Butler. Martha married. May 25,
1695, John Crane, son of Henry and Concurrence (Meigs) Crane. Mary mar-
ried Jeremiah Howes 2d, of Yarmouth, who died January 6, 1705-6. Ruth,
bom about 1676, died July 9, 1756, in her 80th year; married Nathaniel Bacon,
November 11, 1696; and ** daughter Mercy, who married James Claghoro,*' be-
sides the above-named Patience.
Hannah (Mayhew) Daggett married second husband, Capt. Samuel Smith, be-
tween 1695 and 1705. The date of her death is not known. She was living in
June 1713, died l)efore 1721, as her husband, Capt. Samuel Smith, married his
second wife, Katherine Homes, May 30, 1721. The will of Hannah (Mayhew)
Smith, dated August 22, 1710, was not proved until Febraary 7, 1723. As the
property mentioned in the will was given away by deed during her lifetime,
the probating of the will was probably a mere matter of form, hence the delay.
The date of death of Jane Mayhew, wife of the Governor, is not known. It
occurred between 1666 and 1681. In a deed, bearing date May 15, 1666, Thomas
Mayhew gives his daughter, Martha Tapper, as part of her portion, certain
lands, which she was ** not to have until the decease of Jane Mayhew, my wife."

all facts of interest illustrating family history or character be communicated,
especially service under the U. S. Government, the holding of other offices,
graduation from college or professional schools, occupation, with places and
dates of birth, marriage, residence and death. When there are more than one
christian name they should all be given in full if possible. No initials should
be used when the full names are known.

Those who have made use of the previonsly published Adams history by
the same author, that of Henry Adams of Bralntree and Qulncy, Mass., will
surely welcome another elaborate work from him, however deprecatory may be
his introduction of it to the reader, and will thank him for having completed
his book, notwithstanding the apathy of those who might have been expected
to be earnest cooperators in perfecting it. It will bring disappointment to such
as have given credence to unfounded statements, as It has been the endeavor of
the compiler to furnish genuine and useful Information. The aspect of the
book Is similar to that of the above-named publication ; large pages, clear print,
minutely finished indexes and good illustrations make it typographically a fine

The ancestry of Lieut. Benjamin, his military service and Revolutionary diary,
occupy nearly one half of this fine l>ook, the final section appropriated to hlin
treating of his residence, after his discliarge from the army, In Llvermore, the
home of his remaining years. This part and also the other which records the
posterity of the Lientenant*8 children, evince careful compilation — said to be in
great part from original sources — as well as literary taste, presenting the record
of eleven generations In America, and about seven Imndred names completely
indexed.
The Illustrations are excellent, the paper deckle-edge, and the binding cloth
with gilt top. Both without and within the book is one that confers honor on
the patriot ancestor whom it commemorates, on the laborious compiler of Its
materials, and on those who are entitled to claim it as their family record.

on a coat of arms and a preface, constitute a work exhibiting the assiduous
research of the compiler in county documents and records of churches and

This does not assume to be a complete genealogy of this Gibson family, as It
was impossible to communicate with all its members, and the uncertainty res-
pecting the connection of some with the race under consideration, has rendered
their exclusion necessary. Facts have evidently been gathered from every
available source, however, the resultant collection being such as must confer
both pleasure and benefit on those who make use of it. Two hundred and
twenty-eight families are included, to many of whose members are accorded
biographical sketches, in the usual style of genealogies. The print Is very clear,
the binding excellent, and the Index a model of thoroughness.

Aug, 21 1 1900. By Rev. Horace Carter Hovey. 8vo. pp. 11.
Interesting, as all minutely detailed records of the early settlers must be, is
this pamphlet, whose historical and genealogical valne, moreover, is apparent.
The anthor corrects an erroneous statement previously copied by him from the
H&mmatt Papers and the £ssex County Historical and Genealogical Register,
showing the grounds for the correction in the will which is printed at the end
of the memoir.
Thomas Joy and his Descendants in the line of his Sons, Samuel of Boston, Joseph
of Hingham, Ephraim of Berwick, A Portfolio of Family Papers, Compiled
by Jamks Richard Joy. New York : Printed for the Family. 1900. 8vo.
pp. 225. lU.
This volume may be called the second of a Joy trilogy, the first having been
published under the name of ** The Joy Family, by One of Them," and the third,
yet to be written, being required to record the trans-atlantic ancestry of the
family. The present work opens with a very interesting biography of Thomas
Joy, of Hingham and Boston, architect of the first Town House of the latter
place, a representation of the quaint and thoroughly picturesque building serving
18 frontispiece. Among his descendants are many whose lives are of similar
Interest, of whom may be mentioned the Princess Salm-Salm, whose book, ** Ten
Years of my Life," Is full of romantic experiences In the United States, Mexico
mod Europe. With no assumption of completeness, the genealogy will never-
theless be of great service to the posterity of Thomas Joy In tracing their con-
nection with their worthy ancestor.
The illustrations are very fine, and the book is printed on heavy paper with
clear type.

Genealogical Memoranda relating to the Family of Merriam. By Charles Pierce
Merriam and C. E. Gildrrsomb-Dickinson. London : Privately printed at
the Chiswick Press. 1900. Folio, pp. viii.+99. 111.
This elegant volume, with margin as wide as the text, is devoted to what, as
stated in the preface, is now a distinctly American name, as it has now disap-
peared from the county of Kent, where In 1638 people of that family were found,
and, Indeed, as the writer adds, ** as regards the English branch, the name has
died out altogether in England." The book consists of wills in the Probate
Registry of Canterbury, wills formerly at Rochester, wills at the Prerogative
Court at Canterbury, Chancery proceedings, parish registers and marriage
licenses, Kentish lay subsidy rolls, and miscellanea, followed by Indexes of
names and plaoes. Several tabular pedigrees constitute an appendix.

piled and edited by Anderson C. Quisenberry. Washington, D. C. : Gibson
Bros., Printers and Bookbinders. 1900. L. 8vo. pp. 137. 111. Price, $3.00.
This work is a sequel to one issued by the same author entitled ** Genealogical
Memoranda of the Quisenberry Family," relating solely to the family in
America, whereas the present volume, resulting from a clue since received and
I>ersisteutly followed, displays German and English records carrying back the
name to as early a date as 1380. Although an indubitably lineal p^igree has
not been establislied, the compiler has furnished the Quisenberry family with an
acknowledLfod ancestry of more than five hundred years. Good letter-press and
binding, reproductions of English registers, fac similes of signatures, etc., are
the external attractions of the book. It is thoroughly indexed.

researches regarding the Skinner Bible.
Genealogy of the Tapley Family. Illustrated. Compiled by Harriet Silvsster
Tapley. Danvers, Mass. 1900. 8vo. pp. xix.-+-2o6.
Clement Tapley, who settled in Dorchester in 1635, was the first of the name
in America. His record, however, it was decided, for good reasons, to omit
from this volume, which comprises the descendants of John, of Salem, 1666-
1693, and Gilbert, of Salem, 1634-1714. Hosea Tapley, North Carolina, about
1776, Ephraim, Virginia, the last of the 18th century, and Daniel, whose des-
cendants are now in Wisconsin and Illinois, are noticed in the appendix. David
was the father of the "Mark Tapley" of "Martin Chuzzlcwit." "Notes on
English Origin of Tapley Family," by Eben Putnam, precede the pedigree of
John Tapley. The book shows care, competency and zeal in its compilation, is
beautifully printed, well bound, and illustrated with an array of good faces
which recall the assertion in the introduction that certain clearly defined char^
acteristics appear in all the branches of the family.

This volume is an arrangement of materials gathered from various publica-
tions, as also from records and other manuscripts, and, furthermore, embodies
the oral communications of the author's mother. It is not intended for general
circulation, but for the descendants of Edward and Mary Wells. Six chapters
are devoted to the English branches of the family, showing that all of the name

Genealogy of the Descendants of John White of Wenham and Lancaster, Massa-
chuseUs, 1638-1900. In Two Volumes. By Almira Larkin White of
Haverhill, Mass. Volume I. Haverhill, Mass, Chase Brothers, Printers.
1900. 8vo. pp. 930.
This is a welcome addition to the ranks of valuable genealogies, recently is-
sued. The author is a well-known genealogist, competent and enthusiastic, of
unbounded industry and diligence. Her present achievement is a worthy evi-
dence of her skill and capacity. We desire to commend, especially, the illus-
trations of residences, landscapes, furniture, etc., which convey to the mind of
the ordinary reader a clearer conception of the surroundings of the early set-
Hen in New England, than the most eloquent passage. The collection is ex-
tended to the tenth generation, and embraces nearly nine thousand names. A
reprint of Mrs. Rowlandson's Narrative of her captivity, 1676-6, follows the
genealogy. Mrs. Rowlandson was a daughter of John White the emigrant, and
married the first minister of Lancaster. The Narrative has been often re-
printed, but Its insertion in this volume is timely and of large interest to pres-
ent members of the family. The index, which perplexes and exhausts the pa-
tience of the reader, is faulty in arrangement by generations. The book is well
and clearly printed, and embellished with portraits of descendants.

Vol. 2. Nos. 2, 3. October, November, 1900. 111.
The principal features in the above numbers of this publication, previous
issues of which have been noticed in this magazine, are ** EInathan Wing,"
•* William Stebbins," *• The Sweet Family in America," »» The Roberts Family,"
"Flantation Life in Rhode Island," "The Crofoot Family," "Reminiscences
of Pioneer Women," "Matthew Wing of Banbury," and "The Stantons of
Stonington." This last genealogy will be continued through several issues, and
will, the editor promises, carry the pedigree of Thomas Stanton back through
forty-nine generations to Odin, therefore to a period before the advent of
Christ. It is from the sheepskin sagas stored at Copenhagen that this record
is to be drawn, the announcement of which, the editor adds, " has called forth
wide-spread interest among genealogists."
The Wintermute Family History. Compiled by J. P. Wixtermute. Delaware,
Ohio. 1900. L. 8vo. pp.
In this volume are comprehended the descendants of John, George, Lennard
and Philip Wlndemuth (Windemoed, Winderaood), the first of Stillwater, N. J.,
the second of Wantage, N. J., and the last of Wyoming, Penn., the three parts
into which the compiler has divided the genealogy being appropriated to these
three immigrants, respectively. The Wintermute race appears to be one of
great physical activity, and some of them were participants in events of an ap-
palling nature, such as the Wyoming massacre, and the shooting of Gen. Mc-
Cook, at Tankton. The work is evidently a labor of love, and as the outcome
of the painstaking, persistent investigations of one who declares that the pleas-
ore of the pursuit has fully rewarded him for his eflbrts, it ought to be accept-
able to all who are interested in the family. The letter-press Is fine, and the
binding in good taste.

New and revised edition. Illustrated. Boston : Little, Brown & Co. 1900.
Crown 8vo. pp. xvlil.-f484. Price, $2.50.
Thia edition is uniform with " Historic Mansions and Highways around Bos-
ton," and contains ninety-three Illustrations in the text and many full-page plates.
Alterations and additions, such as the author's judgment and knowledge could
well supply, have added to the charm of this popular work which has always
been regarded as an authority unsurpassed In the extent and accuracy of its in-
fonnatlon and in the liveliness of its portrayals.

FaneuU Hall and FaneuU Hall Market, or, Peter FaneuU and hU Oifl. By
Abram Emoush Brown. Boston : Lee & Shepard. 1900. L. 8yo. pp. z.+
218-H71. 111.
The canning hand that ao Tividly portrayed John Hancock and his times is
displayed in this delineation of the donor of Fanenil Hall. With their minute-
ness of detail and genial style, indicating the author's thorough Icnowledge and
enthusiastic appreciation of his subject, the biography of Peter Faneuil and the
history of the Hall and Market possess a greater interest than fiction. One
would scarcely belieye that so absorbing a narrative could be educed from the
records of a single edifice ; for it is Faneuil Hall that has created the Peter
Faneuil of Boston history, since without it he would have been historically
non-existent.
The second part of the volume, entitled ** The Merchants of Faneuil Hall
Market/' is composed of sketches of stall keepers of the market, consisting of
materials obtained by application to the men themselves. Each sketch is ac-
companied by a portrait. This portion of the book occupies six hundred and
seventy-one pages.
Print and binding are fine.
Cculine Sixty Tears Ago, A Historical Address. Delivered in connection with

TON Adams. Boston: Press of Samuel Usher, 171 Devonshire St. 1900.
8vo. pp. 17.
A thoroughly enjoyable discourse, not at all the less so from the fact, which
the author apologetically mentions, that in its composition he was obliged to
rely on his own recollections, on account of scanty time available for its pre-
paration,— unpretentious, genial, awakening exquisite emotions in all who know
Castine.
Historic Duxhury in Plymouth County, Massachusetts. By Laxtrbkcb Brai>-
FORD. 1900. 8vo. pp. 128. Price $1.00.
In this attractive, illustrated volume, Mr. Bradford gives an interesting and
concise account of some of the more important persons and events connected
with the earliest settlement of the town of Duxbury, particularly concerning
Capt. Myles Standish. It is written chiefly for the tourist and summer visitor,
but is interesting both to the student of history and of genealogy.

refer to the People of Enfield. Edited and published by Francis Olcott Allen.
Lancaster, Pa. : The Wickersham Printing Co. 1900. 4to. pp. x.+912+lviU.
This work, which is to consist of three volumes, is composed, as its title in-
dicates, on the scientific plan of making a complete transcript of all the official
data of the town, instead of recording traditions and biographies which, how-
ever interesting to a few, would not be of lasting and public value. As an in-
troduction, there is prefixed to the town documents a sketch of Enfield written
in 1829 by Dr. John Channcey Pease, a descendant of the first explorer and
settler of Enfield. This is followed by the Committee Book, Land Grants, Town
Meetings, occupying about one half of the volume, and the Commoners Book A.
An index of fifty-eight pages concludes the work. It is well printed and most
substantially bound. The scenery, the streets and the legends of Enfield do not,
indeed, find any refiexlon in these pages; but they contain that which to pos-
terity will convey the knowledge of the founders of the town with a thorough-
ness which could not otherwise be obtained.

375-388.
The fourth volume of the papers of the New Haven Colony Historical Society
gave three hundred and forty-seven Guilford inscriptions; in this supplement
are contained eighty more inscriptions in Guilford, (including all before 1801),
copied from stones not standing at present. The annotation is similar to that
of the Madison inscriptions.
Father Joques at the Lake of the Holy Sacrament. An Episode. By B. F. De-
Costa. Fifty copies, reprinted from the ** Messenger of the Sacred Heart."
1900. 4to. pp. 16.
Lalce of the Holy Sacrament is the name borne for more a century by the
inland sea called by Gen. Wro. Johnston, in honor of his king. Lake George.
The '* episode" is so termed because it forms a part of a work on the history,
legends and antiquities of the above named lake ; it is in verse, and commemor.
ates an event in the career of the martyred Jesuit missionary. Rev. Isaac Joques.
Centennial History of LancasteVj OhiOj and Lancaster People. 1898 j the One

By C. M. L. Wiseman. Lancaster, Ohio: C. M. L. Wiseman, Publisher.
1898. Sm. 8vo. pp. 407. Price $2.00.
This exhaustive history holds not only all that has been printed in relation to
Lancaster, but also abounds in information given by those who were pioneers,
among whom special mention is made of Gen. George Sanderson, editor of the
Lancaster Gazette. The book consists almost altogether of sketches of citizens
whose prominence was such that their activities were the elements of develop-
ment in the community to which they belonged, including, moreover, those
whose fortunes were but slightly connected with their native place. As among
these were such men as Gen. Sherman and his brother John, Thomas Ewing,
John T. Brazee, and many others of note, this mode of relating town history
is, in this instance, very interesting.
The author is to be felicitated on the accomplishment of his long-cherished
project in completing a work distinguished by that essential quality of history,
the evident effort to be always accurate.
Letter-press and binding are excellent.
The Cycle Days of New England. An Address delivered as a Part of the Exercises

by Nathan Mortimer Hawkks. Reprinted from the Memorial Volume of
the 60th Anniversary Celebration, Lynn, Mass. 1900. 8vo. pp. 16.
The *• Cycle Days" refer to the days opening four cycles of eighty-six years,
when, on the 19th of April, occurred events of extraordinary effect not only upon
New England, but upon the whole United States. The address will especially
interest those who favor what may be called the cyclical theory of history, ac-
cording to which events bearing a recognizably general resemblance present
themselves at regular intervals of time.

chiefly from the manuscript genealogies of Guilford Families compiled by Dr.
A Ivan Talcott. Hammonassett cemetery. East and West cemeteries of North

120 Book Notices. [Jan.
Ye Antient Buriall Place of New London, Conn. New London: Press of the
Day Pabllshing Co. 1899. Ob. 8vo. pp. 40. 111.
This beautifully printed and illustrated book contains the inscriptions on the
gravestones of the oldest burial place in the eastern part of Connecticut. The
Introductory portion of the book, from the Bepositorp, in a very appreciative
manner describes this most attractively quaint cemetery, notes its rehabilita-
tion in 1855, and calls attention to the resting places of some of the more dis-
tinguished dead. A tine, large picture of the graveyard shows three hundred
and Ave graves, each marked with a number; and the body of the book consists
of the index to these numbers.
Most adequately will the book fulfil the desire of its compiler that it may
preserve for posterity the names that hallow this ancient ** acre of God."
A Brief View of the Injluenceu that moved in the Adoption of the Federal Constitu-
tion by the State of Kevo Hampshire. Annual address before the Grafton and

at the meeting lield at Berlin, Jan. 27, 1899. Concord, N. H. : The Rumford
Press. 19.00. L. 8vo. pp, 36.
Under the headings, The Attitude, Influence, and Action of New Hamp-
shire in the Federal Movement, The Influence of the Northern Part of the State
in the Federalization of New Hampshire, and The Point of View of the Fathers
in 1788, Mr. Batchellor has produced an elaborate, copiously annotated and dis-
passionate paper on a subject whose literature is yearly increasing, relating to
a period of our history more momentous than that of the achievement of inde-
pendence. To the minority on the question of the hour, whom we now recog-
nize as mistaken, justice is here fully rendered.
Historical Notes relating to the Pennsylvania Dutch Beformed Church, Edited by
Henry S. DoTTERER. Volume one. Phila. : Perkiomen Pub. Co., 1606 N.
18th St. 1900. L. 8vo. pp. 201.
The genealogical value of this publication consists in such contributions as
'* Marriages by Rev. Geo. Wack," running through nearly all of the twelve
numbers, •' Philadelphia Reformed Church Burial Ground," '• Lists of Huguenot
Galley Slaves," and " Goetschy's Colony," which, together with articles of the
distinctive religious history which it is the object of the periodical to record,
constitute a chronicle of the church whose name it bears, as also of the Euro-
pean Reformed Churches from which it originated, forming a work which must,
as the editor hopes, excite the enthusiasm and Increase the strength of the de-
nomination in wliose Interest it is produced.

Plymouth County Marriages, 1692-1746, Literally transcribed from the first
volume of the Records of the Inferior Court of Common Pleas, and from an

The last Is published as a supplement to the first, in consequence of the
omission of one volume of records from that.
The publication of the records of early marriages, births and deaths is one of
a few of the best things that can be done in aid of genealogical research. If cor-
rectly and properly done. This Is what this book by Mr. Bailey and the pam-
phlet of Mrs. Greenlaw undertake to do. As the field for this kind of work is so
large, and the demand for it so great, it is much to be regretted that publication
of the same matter should be duplicated, so that parties who desire to encourage
this kind of work should be called upon to purchase the same thing twice. Mrs.
Greenlaw had commenceil the publication of these records early In 1898, and Mr.
Bailey must have had knowledge of the fact before he made his preparations for
this volume. It is greatly to be regretted that he did not select some other rec-
ords for his second volume. At the outset there is one drawback to this volame.
1901 •] Book Notices. 121
The name " Boreaa of American Ancestry for family researches " indicates that
its pablication is a matter of business, pure and simple — a means of making
money. There is no sentiment in It. And it is now notorious that genealogies
published solely as a business enterprise are so defective and erroneous as to
be scarcely worth examination. That there was haste in the preparation of
this book is evident from the fact that one volume of the Plymouth Records
is entirely omitted. But worse than that, the names were carelessly copied, so
that there are numerous errors In the book which greatly mislead rather than
aid the investigator ; apparently the copyist was incompetent or very careless,
if a judgment can be formed by comparing a list of several pages, known to
be correct, with what purports to be the same names in this book. The Index
is a terrible trial of patience; while it purports to be alphabetical, it is so only
as to the first letter. It Is true that this same method has been adopted In recent
speculative genealogical works, and for that very reason should be reprehended.
To prepare an actually alphabetical Index involves but a small percentage of
labor more than the hotch-potch affairs that are now given as indexes, so try-
ing to the eyes and the patience and so destructive of time.
Mrs. Greenlaw's pamphlet Is a copy of the records^ evidently very carefully and
accurately made. It may be that the matter might be condensed into briefer
space, but it is always safer and more satisfactory to have the language of the
record. It is hoped that the author will carry out her original intention and
give to the public the whole record, with an index, and not be content with
making her work a mere supplement. Josiah H. Drummond.

Fortunate indeed are the people of Norfolk to secure as the historian of their
beautiful town, one whose zealous devotion to his subject Is equalled by his
assiduity in the collection of records, and whose efforts have been ably second-
ed by so many of his townsmen. The first three chapters, by Rev. Joseph Eld-
ridge, giving a sketch of the history of Connecticut before the founding of
Norfolk, bring the narrative of the progress of the town as far as the time of
the Revolution; the following chapters, by Mr. Crissey, present in ample
detail every aspect of the subject, historical, physical, institutional, biograph-
ical, genealogical and anecdotal, which can interest, instruct or amuse the read-
er. Paper, print. Illustrations and binding combine with the text to form a
book which the inhabitants of Norfolk will for generations most highly prize.
A good index Increases its merits.

The Tuttle Co., Printers and Publishers, Rutland, Vt. [1899.] 8vo. pp. 211.
This is a history presenting its subject under every possible aspect, and will
give the reader a thorough knowledge of the Green Mountain town named for
Prince Rupert. The demise of those who remembered the early settlers has,
without doubt, deprived the history of many Important and picturesque addi-
tions ; but the institutions, enterprises and present condition of the town have
Dot on that account been less interestingly and minutely portrayed.

Though so largely of a statistical nature, this sketch records facts of ex-
tremest usefulness to all who are for any reason Interested In the town whose
beautiful environs have attracted wide recognition. The appendix relating to
Indian names shows careful research.

sterling work, and one which, for its contributions to genealogy, deserves espe-
cial praise.
Book A, Records of the Town of Swansea, 1662 to 1705. Edited by Alvrrdo
Haywakd Mason. East Braiutree, Mass. Alverdo H. Mason. 1900. 4to.
pp. 82. Edition limited to 166 copies. Price, $1.25.
The records of Swansea, Mass., are especially interesting. The town from
its beginning not only proclaimed, but also practised, the principle of reli-
gious freedom, as shown by entries on the town books. It was perhaps owing
to tills freedom that so many people took up a residence within the town limits.
Certain it is that the list of inhabitants contains a notably large number of
names of New England families.
It is the hope of Mr. Mason to publish all the town records, and he has made
an excellent beginning in the present volume, which reproduces the earliest
book of births, marriages and deaths. The printed book retains the paging of
the original, and even the lines are numbered for convenience in indexing. The
index is divided into two parts. Part I affords reference to every individual
mentioned in tlie records, giving the women under both their maiden and their
married names, an unusual but very important and useful feature. Part II is
practically a repetition of the records, but with the individuals grouped accord-
ing to their families.
Tlie work has been a labor of love. The records have been carefully copied
and also pliotographed, the photographs being used for the proof-reading. The
compositiou and press-work liave been done by Mr. Mason himself, and the re-
sult is in the higliest degree creditable to the editor. A short introduction
gives valuable information about the records which, very curiously, were made
in a crude index form under the initials of the Christian names. The price is
small, considering the time and laljor given to the preparation of the work, and
the proceeds from the sale of the book are to be devoted to the publication of
succeeding volumes. Only one hundred and forty odd copies are offered for
sale.
The importance of printing such records exactly as they are written (as is
here done) is very great. Students of the printed book who are unable to see
the manuscript, are often greatly helped in their researches, sometimes in un-
expected ways. Mr. William P. Greenlaw nas pointed out to the writer of this
notice two or three interesting deductions which he has been able to make in
the present case. One of these may be here mentioned. The arrangement of
the names according to the initials of the Christian names called his attention
to the fact that John Myles, Junior, and Nicholas Tanner, the first two Swan-
sea town clerks of whom we have record, made their returns of biiths to Ply-
mouth Court in exactly the same manner. This fact affords proof that the
present manuscript is an original or an original copy, and not a re-arrangement
of tlie records at a later time, as has been suggested.

The book is thoroughly interesting, the pages devoted to the Indians by no
means the least so, there being nothing in their annals more appalling or pa-
thetic than the account of the total destruction of the tribe of the Erie's.
The index is followed by a prospectus of a second volume to contain the
lineages of the people of the Western Reserve. Paper and print are flue.
Windham, Maine, in the War of the Bevolution, 1775-1783. By Nathan
Gould. H. W. Bryant, Bookseller and Publisher, Portland, Me. 1900.

This is an account of the services of the men of Windham at Boston, Ticon-

tend to the desired completeness.
Life and Times of Azro B. F. Hildreth, including Personal and Family Letters,
Miscellaneous Correspondence, and Selections from his Writings. In four
Parts. Edited by Charles Aldrich. Des Moines : Published by Redhead,
Norton, Lothrop & Co. 1891. 8vo. pp. viii+556. 111.
This volume, — which is, in fact, an autobiography consisting of the slightly
edited materials produced by the subject of the story, — records what may em-
phatically be called a good life, while the portrayal of the labors of this man
of force, character atd geniality really constitutes the history of the settlement
of one of the fairest \ ortions of Iowa, as also the account of a journal estab-
lished in what might be called a wilderness. Parts second and third afford let-
ters from such persons as Henry A. Wise, Henry Clay, Thomas H. Benton,
William H. Seward and Gov. William Slade; and the fourth part,— extracts from
Mr. Hildreth*s writings, — embraces a sufficient variety of themes to impart a
jQst impression of the intellectual ability of their author.
The book is well printed and bound.
Biographical BevieWj containing Biographical Sketches of the Leading Citizens
of the Province of New Brunstcick', under the editorial supervision of I. Allen
Jack. Boston: Biographical Review Publishing Co., 15 Court Square. 4to.
pp. 598. III.
This magnittcent volume, like its predecessors, evinces the labor and taste of
both publishers and editor. The sketches, with few exceptions, have been sub-
mitted to the revision of their subjects, so that the same accuracy may be ex-
pected in the Canadian series of local biography, of which this is the first vol-
ume, as was found in the thirty-three volumes of the Atlantic series, issued by
the same company.
The descendants of Loyalists, of course, figure largely in these pages, as the
Loyalist immigration is considered the most important event in the history of
the Province.
The space allotted to genealogy shows a just appreciation by the publishers
of the increa.sing interest in this subject.
To praise the typographical finish of the volume would be superfluous; it
sofflces to say that it corresponds to that of its predecessors.
Edwards Amasa Park, D.D., LL.D. Memorial Address. By Richard Salter
Storrs. Boston : Press of Samuel Usher, 171 Devonshire St. 1900. 8vo.
pp. 71.
A peculiarly pathetic intercut invests this address from the fact that the
author of it was dead at the time of its delivery, it being read by Dr. Albert H.
Plumb. In an introductory note the funeral services are described, following
which are extracts from Jonathan Edwards, the passages of Scripture read at
the obsequies, the address of Dr. Storrs, and the funeral hymn and prayer.
That the euloglum of such a man by one who, however sharply diUbring from
him in important respects, thorouglily knew and as thoroughly appreciated him,
is of distinguished merit from more than one point of view, it is most obvious
to say.

In type of the fairest kind we have here presented a Journal, or common-

by the diarist daring that period, the era of the French and Indian wars, clos-

This sumptuous volume exhibits book-making In Its perfection. Whether
one regards the letter-press, binding, or illustrations, its attractions are aristo-
cratically fine. The fac-simile of the rosette and insignia may be instanced as
particularly artistic. The portraits of the members are a series of highly fin-
ished pictures. Among the other illustrations are a plan of Fort Pitt and the
home of William and Elizabeth (Alden) Pabodie, Little Compton, R. I. As to
the text, besidesfthe portions indicated in the title, there is a division called

of Charleston, entitled *♦ Historical Sketch of the Huguenot Congregations of

describing the settlements on French Santee, at the Orange Quarter and in St.
John's Berkeley, the pamphlet very fully portrays the church at Charleston, its
history, liturgy, etc. The paper will be found very interesting.

In the present issue of the Maine Historical Society, continuing the history of
Maine by the aid of such documents as letters, depositions, warrants, orders of
court and council, commissions, journals, complaints and petitions, the large
space occupied by petitions Is sufficiently justified by the editor, on the ground
that they will be found of surpassing value in determining residences and dates.
The Index shows no subject more fully Illustrated than the perennially attrac-
tive one, that of the Indians.

In this volume, which includes names from Andrew Haagg to Seth Ilixon,
the same method of arrangement is observed as in the volumes previous, names
being printed precisely as they are in the records, followed by residence, rank,
the kind of document recording the service, enlistment and discharge, time of
service, and remarks. Although the naval revolutionary services of the men of
Massachusetts were as worthy of record as those of the land forces, yet as such
services were chiefly performed by privateers, no official returns of men were
required ; for Avhich reason the naval records of the Commonwealth are few and
incomplete. Yet there can be no complaint of paucity of records in general, as
the copy prepared for the printer, in the publication of these volumes, is taken
from more than six hundred thousand cards.

Like all similar productions, this history of a regiment whose members, in
fact, entered the field in other organizations, supplies priceless material for
the record of Avhat is of far more importance than reports of battles and cam-
paigns, viz., the sentiments, conduct and fate of the citizen soldiers of America,
whether of the North or South. Throughout these twenty -nine al)sorbing chap-
ters one's attention is fixed on Americans of average intellect and virtue, men
of the people, subjected to the abnormal conditions of war, and spending in
prodigal heroism life and limb for their country.
Besides the narration of the origin and actions of the 17th regiment, there is
here a list of the regimental histories of the State, and, furthermore, an appen-
dix of statistics of unusual interest concludes the book.
Good print and illustrations are the external merits of the volume.
The Colonial Laws of New York from the Year 1664 to the Revolution^ including

From the explanatory note in the first volume, we learn that in this work the
statutes of the Colony of New York are republished verbatim, with the original
spelling and punctuation, taking the edition of Van Schaack as a basis with
respect to arrangement and numbering of chapters. All the nets of which
originals or copies are extant have been printed in full. The index contains the
Dames of all persons mentioned in the legislation of the colony, and is there-
fore of great historical and genealogical value. The publication is also of legal
importance, as some of the laws recorded may be yet in force.
The collection is prefaced by a sketch of the history and development of
representative government in the colony.

government of the young State had not yet adjusted itself to its novel condi-

by the King of France, and the appointment of Benjamin Franklin as our first
minister to that country, as also by the arrival of the French fleet under Count

Society of Mayflower Descendants in the State of Illinois. (Edited by Tyler
Skymour Morkis.) Publication Number One. Chicago. 1900. 8vo. pp.
173.
The first book of the Society of Mayflower Descendants was published in the
early part of 189G, and was noticed in the July Register of that year. This
second book follows the style of the first in size, binding, paper, print and ar-
rangement. Its contents comprise lists of officers of the New York Society
from its incorporation to the present time; a revised copy of the list of passen-
gers who came in tlie Mayflower, which will bear still further revision ; the Com-
pact and its signers, numbered as in Prince's New England Chronology ; the con-
stitution, by-laws, list of members and list of ancestors of the New York So-
ciety. The volume Is embellished with a portrait of Hon. Henry E. Rowland,
first Governor of the New York Society, views of the Manor House at Scrooby
and St. Peter's Church in Droitwich, views in Amsterdam, Leyden and Delft-
Haven, '* Baptismal Robe of William Bradford," and a facsimile of a page of
Bradford's History.
The larger part of the Illinois Society's book is devoted to full page pedigrees,
each of Avhich shows the descent of a member of the Society from a Mayflower
ancestor. The publication of these detailed lines of eligibility is a new depar-
ture in the literature of the patriotic-hereditary societies. The remainder of the
volume contains lists of officers and members, the constitution and by-laws,
and a history of the State society, together with addresses delivered before
it by various officers, the Compact with its signers numbered, Bradford's list of
1901.]

Majflower passengers, and a list of books containing Pilgrim history and gen-
ealogy. The book is illustrated Tvith many fine and appropriate engravings.
It is worth noticing here that the original Compact has been missing for a long
time, and that the earliest copies of it are fonnd in Mourt's Relation, Bradford's
History and Morton's New England's Memorial ; the last, which was issued in
1069, being the first to contain a list of the signers. The signatures, as printed
by Morton, are arranged in three columns, which are divided at the bottom of
a page, seven names appearing in each column at the foot of one page, and the
balance at the top of the next. It is evident from the foregoing that the order
of signing is not now known. Prince, in his New England Chronology, is the
first to assign arbitrary numbers to these signatures, but he admits that he
follows Morton's arrangement, and that he adds the titles and families from
Bradford's Manuscript. As arguments to show that this or that one wrote the
Compact have been based upon the order of signing, it would seem better to
omit the numbers until the exact order is known. * * *

most thoroughly in love with his subject, and who, moreover, has not avoided
the prosaic, statistical aspect of his theme, as, indeed, it is to this that he at-
tributes the chief merit of his production.

It was a happy thought of the compiler of these charts, to give to the genea-

is included in her plan a series of •* working charts," most valuable in pre-

Index to American Genealogies; and to Genealogical Material contained in all
Works, such as Town Histories, County Histories, Local Histories, Historical
Society Publications, Biographies, Historical Periodicals, and Kindred Works,
Alphabetically Arranged, enabling the Beader to ascertain whether the Genealogy
of any Family, or any part of it, is printed, either by itself or embodied in other
Works, Fifth edition, revised, improved and enlarged, containing nearly
50,000 references (first and second editions were edited by Daniel S. Durrle).

In the Register for October, 1860, appeared the announcement that Daniel
8. Durrie, Librarian of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin, was preparing
a ** Bibliography of American Family History," and the remark was ad led,
•* It will l>e a work of great labor, and, if properly prepared, as we doubt not it
will be. of great value." In 1868 the promised work was Issued under the title
of ** Bibliographla Genealoglca Americana," containing, arranged imder the
various family names, 10,000 references to genealogical publications. In 1878,
a second edition, comprising about 15,000 references, was published. A third
edition, with about 20,000 references, and bearing the name of the same editor,
appeared in 1886, to which a supplement was famished in 1888. In 1895 came
the fourth edition, with nearly 40,000 references. The number of editions, five,
thus far required by the public, shows the ** indispensable character of the work
130 Book Notices. [Jan.
to the genealogist and to public libraries,** to quote from a review of the second
edition by John Ward Dean.
The plan chosen for printing the surnames has changed from edition to
edition, and has occasioned considerable criticism. In the first edition, they
were printed in such position in relation to the references as to be immediately
and unmistakably recognized. The English method, however, of repeating the
name before every reference was decid^ly objectionable, and was therefore not
introduced in the second edition. In the third edition, one observes a de-
creasing clearness in the tabulation of the names, while in the fourth edition the
obscurity in this respect is unrelieved, although the arrangement of references
is a most noticeable improvement on that of the edition just preceding it. In
the last edition the surnames are given in black type, and are accordingly far
more easily distinguishable than in the style of print before employed.
As to the degree of reliability of this edition by reason of its including all the
references of the previous issues and therefore being fitted to supersede them,
this has been tested by an examination of several hours, carefully tracing ref-
erences through all the volumes, with the result that but one oversight has been
detected.
Attached to the first edition of Durrie's work, and facing the title-page, is the
advertisement: " Whitmore^s American Genealogist is a companion volume to
this Index of American Pedigrees, and the two are indispensable to all persons
pursuing the study of genealogy, or engaged in writing town histories or family
genealogies. Neither of them is a substitute for the other, but they are together
present helps in the pursuit of family history." These statements are true, as
it is to this work and to the volumes mentioned below that one must apply for
the full titles of the genealogies which in the *' Index" are designated in the
briefest manner possible. Whitmore's work preceded I)urrie*s by six years, and
is the first of its kind ; in 1875 it had reached a third edition. A fourth edition,
not edited, however, by Whitmore, but prepared by Joel Miinsell's Sons, who
were Its publishers from the first, was issued in 1897. In the same year there
appeared another work of the same nature compiled by Thomas Allen Glenn,
publislied by Henry T. Coates & Co., Pliiladelphia, claiming as its special feature
the presentation of the unabridged title, wherever possible, of every genealogy
mentioned in its pages. In additi(m to these, which have been rightly termed
companions to the Index under notice, we may, in this connection, call attention
to the " Bulletin of the New York Public Library," 1897, with sections occupied
by " American Genealogies," and also to the " Finding List of Genealogies and
Town Histories, containing Family Records," published the present year by the
Boston Public Lil)rary, being a second and much enlarged edition, and which Is
very valuable to those who use it in the library, as each title has the shelf num-
ber of the book printed with it.
As, with the exception of the Library Lists, all of the above-mentioned works
but one were published by Joel Munsell's Sons, it is to this house that we must
accord preeminence in genealogical enterprise. As three years ago they could
say that they had published more genealogies than any other American company,
and that no house then existing had published a genealogy earlier than they, so
now, on producing the fifth e<1itlon of their standard work, they may congratu-
late themselves on having still further facilitated the study of family liistory by
diminishing to a minimum the difficulty of ascertaining the sources of genealo-
gical information. As books or collections of books of certain classes without
an Index are practically useless, so he who has constructed for them the best
index extant has done more than any one else to make them serviceable to the
world.

The East Jersey and West Jersey records are published in this volume. The
value and interest of these records have long been recos:uizcd, but their volu-
minousness rendered it difficult to thoroughly master them. Among the con-
tents of this publication are original grants, concessions, instructions and orders
of the first Proprietors and Governors, which show, it is pleasant to notice, how
scrupulously honest were the early settlers in acquiring the Indian title of oc-

and students of Indian history, and particularly that of the Lenni Lenape. Un-
der the division ** Occupations** is a list of the early inhabitants whose callings
are noted in various documents. The volume will attract the genealogist,
although a number of the marriage certificates have been reserved for a collec-
tion of marriage records, to appear in the serfes of New Jersey Archives. The
thoroughness and accuracy of the records are obvious, from the fact that the
Calendar and General Index have been prepared by Mr. Berthold Fernow, the
archivist of New York.

This association is organized for the purpose, as stated in the second of the
articles of incorporation, ** for the purpose of reclaiming, preserving and
adorning Old Fort Raleigh . . . and also to erect monuments and suitable
memorials to commemorate historic events in North Carolina." In a circular
attached to the pamphlet it is added : ** In consideration of wliat they owe to
Sir Walter Haleigh, who first introduced tobacco into Great Britain, it* is asked
that all who use and deal in tobacco contribute a sum, large or small— the value
at least of two or three cigars — according to their means, to be devoted to th©
erection of memorials— at the place in the United States where tobacco was first
discovered— to Sir Walter Raleigh, who made known its use, and to his colonists
"Who perished there. Contributions may be sent to Graham Davos, President,
New Bern, N. C. In the ** Review and Memoranda" it is stated that, since the
issue of the last circular in 1896, a memorial tablet has been erected on the site
of Fort Raleigh, with an inscription recording the events that occurred there,
"While the grounds of the fort have been enclosed by a substantial fence.

as follows: John Knight,^ Richard,^
Thomas,' Thomas,' John.* Her mother
was Lucy Maria, daughter of the Hon.
John Goddard. Mr. and Mrs. Eddy
were much interested in the purposes of
our Society and in the Register. Mr.
Eddy prepared not only a history of the
Eddy family, but of the Pickering
family of Portsmouth. Mrs. Eddy
found delight in the history and social
life of her native city. Mr. Eddy die<l
May 13, 1887, and an obituary notice of
him appeared in the Rkoihtkk, 1888, p.
214. Mr. Eddy was by profession a civil

gave to the city of Portsmouth, N. H.,
$30,000 for an equestrian statue of
Major Genernl Fitz John Porter, a native
of that place.
The religious interests of Mr. and
Mrs. Eddy were centred in the work at
King's Chapel. They were also very
much interested in the development and
maintenance of Mt. Auburn Cemetery,
where they were both interred. They
were ever kindly disposed, of an un-
assuming demeanor, and found delight
in beautiful benefactions to their kins-
men and the public at large.

was born June 30, 1832. Her mother
was Jane Boardman, daughter of Wil-
liam and Jennet (Catlin) Boardman.
Miss Goldthwaite was a graduate of
the Hartford Female Seminary, and
taught for about twenty years in that
institution. She went abroad in 1889,
spending about three years in England
and on the continent, during which
time she made a successful search for
the English home of her mother's £Eun-
ily, the Boardmans, and also a search
for the ancestry of the American Gold-
thwaites. Since her return, she has
compiled very complete genealogies
of these families, both of which have
been published.

joharie, New York, on February 7, 1900.
He was the second son of Jacob and

at Lititz, Lancaster County, Pennsyl-
vania, on April 13, 1817. He was mar-
ried at German town, Penn., on Oct. 13,
1864, to Elizabeth, fourth child of John
and Ann (Waldcn) Skirving, who died
on March 12, 1875, at Bethlehem, Penn.
Her father was born in Worwickshire,
England, in the year 1804, and died at
German town in 1865 ; and her mother
was bom in England in 1801, and died
in Philadelphia in 1850. Mr. Grider
left two daughters to mourn his loss :
Mrs. Amy Grider Sammons, wife of
James Horatio Sammons of Canajohorie,
who has one son, Rufus Sammons ; and
Margaretta Sager Grider of North
Adams, Mass. The surname was origi-
nally Kreauter, but by gradual changes
from one generation to another in this
country it has become ** Grider."
For a long time Mr. Grider was much
interested in powder-horn inscriptions,
ond he had made careful dra>vings of
more than four hundred inscribed horns.
On several occasions these copies have
been on exhibition in Boston, where he
had many friends. The collection is a re-
markable one, both unique and artistic ;
and it is understood that it is now for
sale. It contabis many hiut'^ and sugges-
tions of an historical character, not found
elsewhere. Along this line of study Mr.
Grider made original researches which
are worthy of high commendation, and
his pioneer labors justly entitle him to
be regarded as the founder of a new
antiquarian art.

JOHN ELBRIDGE HUDSON, LL.B.
By Gbosob Vabxbb Lktbbstt, LL.B.
John Elbridge Hudson, vice-president of this Society, and
president of the American Bell Telephone Company and of the
American Telephone and Telegraph Company, died in Beyerly,
Mass., October 1, 1900, without issue.
Thomas Hudson, his paternal ancestor, came to this country
about 1630, settled in Lynn, Mass., and acquired land at the Ford
on the Saugus River. Near this land was found the bog iron ore
which led to the establishment of the first iron works in this country.
These works were erected on Thomas Hudson's land at the head of
navigation below the Ford. The first casting, an iron kettle, made
at these works in 1642, remained in the possession of his descendants
until 1892, when it was presented to the City of Lynn by Mr. Hudson.
His ancestral line is as follows : — (1) Thomas Hudson, immigrant ;
(2) Jonathan Hudson, bom circa 1617 ; (3) Moses Hudson, bom
July 15, 1658, married, Nov. 12, 1685, Sarah Collins, daughter of
Henry Collins of Lynn; (4) Jonathan Hudson, born Sept. 15,
1691, married, Nov. 14, 1720, Mary Hathome, daughter of Ebenezer
Hathome of Lynn; (5) Moses Hudson, bom June 30, 1723,
married, Feb. 27, 1745, Katherine Kilby, daughter of Thomas
Kilby of Boston; (6) Thomas KUby Hudson, born April 9, 1756,
married, July 27, 1780, Rhoda Ramsdell, daughter of Nehemiah
Bamsdell of Lynn; (7) James Hudson, bom April 25, 1788,

married, July 20, 1809, Eliza Condon Orgin, daughter of Isaac
Orgin of Lynn; (8) John Hudson, bom Sept. 24, 1815, married,
August 27, 1837, Elizabeth Chase Hall Hilliard, daughter of
Benjamin Hilliard of Cornish, N. H. ; (9) John Elbridge Hudson,
bom August 3, 1839.
Mr. Hudson's maternal great-great-grandfather was the Rer.
David Hall (A.B., Harvard 1724; D.D., Dartmouth 1777) who
married, June 24, 1731, Elizabeth Prescott, daughter of Dr.
Jonathan and Rebecca (Bulkeley) Prescott of Concord, and was
ordained pastor of the First Congregational Church of Sutton,
Mass., where he died. May 8, 1789, after a pastorate of nearly sixty
years.
His maternal great-grandfather was the Rev. Samuel Hilliard, a
{Nioneer in Universalism and a soldier of the Revolution, serving
at Bunker Hill and Bennington.
Mr. Hudson was bom in Lynn, and received his early education
in the public schools of that city. He fitted himself for college, and
entering Harvard graduated in 1862, valedictorian summa cum
laude. He was the best classical scholar of his class, and imme-
diately upon his graduation was appointed to a tutorship in which,
for three years, he taught Greek, Latin and Ancient History.
Although urged to continue in the profession of a classical scholar,
he chose the law, and while attending to the duties of his tutorship
took the regular course of the Harvard Law School. Upon his
graduation from the Law School, in 1865, he entered the law office
of Chandler, Shattuck and Thayer of Boston, as a student. He
was admitted to the Suffolk Bar, October 25, 1866, but continued
with the firm as managing clerk until February, 1870, when he
became a partner, on the retirement of Mr. Shattuck, the firm name
becoming Chandler, Thayer and Hudson, and four years later
Chandler, Ware and Hudson, upon the appointment of Mr. James
B. Thayer as Royall professor of law in the Harvard Law School,
and the admission of Mr. Darwin E. Ware to the firm.
The firm was dissolved in 1878, and for two years thereafter Mr.
1901.] John Mbridge JBudson. 137
Hudson continiied in practice alone, contributing to the law review^
and editing with Mr. George F. Williams the tenth annual volumQ
of the United States Digest.
In 1880 he became the official attorney of The National Bell Tele-
phone Company, and a little later of The American Bell Telephone
Compapy upon the organization of the latter company ; in 1885 jits
solicitor and general manager, and in 1886 its vice-president; in
1887 presidei^t of jthe American Telephone and Telegraph Coqapany
(the ^'Long Distance Company"), and in 1889 president of The
Jimeric^n Bell Telephone Company. These last two offices he held
iiotil bis death, October 1, 1900.
He was married, August 23, 1871, to Miss Eunice W. Healey,
fighter of Wells and Elizabeth (Pickering) Healey of Hampton
FisUs, New Hampshire.
Mr. Hudson was at the time of his death a vice-president of this
Society. He was also a fellow of the American Academy of Arts
mfd Sciences, a member of the Corporation of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, a member of the American Antiquarian
Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science,
tbe British Association for the Advancement of Science, American
Gfsographical Society, National Geographic Society, The Colonial
^Mociety of Massachusetts, the American Institute of Electrical Engi-
jl^ers, the Virginia Historical Society, the Association for the Pre-
pervation of Virginia Antiquities, the Bostonian Society, Selden So-
CM9ty, Hakluyt Society, Lynn Historical Society, the Bar Associa-
tion of the City of Boston, and also of the Algonquin, Boston Art,
Exchange, National Arts, St. Botolph, Union, University and other
social clubs.
Mr. Hudson was remarkable for the wide range of his intellectual
^wers. As a classical scholar he had few equals outside the ranks
fi£ professional students. He was widely versed in ancient and
modem history and geography. His knowledge of the law was ex-
^nsive and profound. In editing the tenth volume of the United
JBlates Digest, he was required by the publishers to re-classify the
138 John Mbndg€ Hudson. [April,
whole body of the law. The analysis of the law then made by him
has since been followed in numerous digests and indexes in general
use throughout the United States, and is the basis of the classifica-
tion adopted for the Century Edition of the United States Digest.
The electrical and other problems arising from the extensive and
rapidly growing telephone business interested him profoundly.
His tastes led him to genealogical research, and to his extensive
library he added the many works upon historical and genealogical
subjects which have since been presented to this Society.
But Mr. Hudson was not merely a scholar. He was also a
sagacious man of business. Being connected with the American
Bell Telephone Company irom its organization, he was at first
engaged as counsel in establishing those intricate contract relations
which were to govern perpetually, in their relations with the parent
company and with each other, the numerous companies engaged
locally in the telephone business throughout the country, and later,
as general manager and president, in foreseeing and providing for
the demands of a rapidly increasing business.
Mr. Hudson was also very successixd in dealing with men. His
position required him to undertake many difficult and important
negotiations and to compose many differences which the new rela-
tions and complicated contracts inevitably created. In all these
negotiations he showed great tact, resource and knowledge of human
nature. Strong men trusted him, respected his judgment and
followed his advice. The enormous and successful business, the
charge of which he was compelled by death to resign, is in large
measure a testimonial to his business capacity.
Mr. Hudson was also president or director of many other tele-
phone and electrical companies throughout the United States, and
upon his death those interested in their management took occasion
to testify to the high esteem and personal regard in which he was
held by all.
This sketch would but inadequately present its subject unless it
mentioned the attractive personality of Mr. Hudson. With a well
1901.] Boston Tax Listy 1687. 139
stored mind whose resources he always had at command, his conver-
sation was heard with pleasure and profit by young and old. He
often spent his summer vacations in England, largely in visiting its
places of historical interest, especially those connected with the history
of this country. On his return, it was his custom to entertain his
friends with an account of his visit, interspersing his narrative with
many curious bits of historic lore. But he was above all a scholar,
fond of his home, and it was his delight, after the weary hours of
professional and business duties, to spend his evenings in his well
stored library, in the companionship of his wife and in touch with the
best thought of all ages.
Mr. Hudson's death made a wide void in many circles.
BOSTON TAX LIST, 1687.
TranscTibed by Fbanoib Eybrbtt Blakb, Esq., from manuscript in possession of the
Society.
The Record Commissioners of Boston printed, in their First
Eeport, tax lists of the year 1687, covering four precincts out of the
eight into which the town was then divided.
That of Major Savage's Division, No. 4, which was one of the
missing lists, has been found and is here printed. It furnishes quite
a number of names of early taxpayers of Boston not before recorded.

DR. BRYAN (OR BRAY) ROSSITER OF GUILFORD,
CONN., AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
Compiled bj Hon. R. D. Smyth and communicated by Dr. Bernabd C. Steinbb.
1. Dr. Brtan (or Brat) Rossiter (the name is also spelled Ros-
leter) was a son of Edward Rossiter, and came to America with his
father in the Mary and John, in 1 630. He was mude freeman at Dorches-
ter, Mass., in 1631 ; removed to Windsor, Conn., in 1639, where he was
town clerk, and came to Guilford, buying Mr. Samuel Desborough's estate,
an 1651. It is said that he was the only physician in Connecticut colony
At the time of his removal to Guilford. Uis medical practice was very
* This was William Bowes, loyalist, whose name appears in the list of those who, in
1778, were proscribed as enemies of the new State. He went to England, where he
died in 1806.
t Perhaps the Rev. John Hunt (H. C. 1764), minister of the Old Soath Church.
t Richard Clarke, father-in-law of Copley, was one of the consignees of the tea. He
died in England in 1795.
^ The Rev. Caleb Prentice fH. C. 1765). In 1769 he succeeded the Rev William Hob-
by as minister of Reading, Mass.
160 Dr. Bryan Bossiter of Guilford^ Conn. [April,
extensive, and he is supposed to have performed the first autopsy in Con-
necticot Shortly after removing to Guilford, he fell out with Gov. William
Leete and the majority of the tovmspeople, very probably because his own
son-in-law was not chosen to the vacant pulpit. The difficulties increased,
and at the time of the struggle over the union with Connecticut, he placed
himself at the head of the party favoring immediate union. (See Steiner's
History of Guilford, for fuller account. ) He was admitted as a freeman in
Guilford, June 8, 1654, and though he left the town for a time, when Eil-
lingworth was settled, he return^ and died there, Sept 30, 1672. Where
he studied medicine is unknown. His grandson, John Cotton, in 1713,
wrote he was '* one who made conscience in his demands for his service."
He was also a surveyor, and laid out the lands about the Hammonasset
Biver, in 1656. The following extract from a letter written to his daugh-
ter Joanna, and her husband. Rev. John Cotton, on Sept. 24, 1669, show
his deeply religious character : '* We have had a sore visitation again by
sickness and mortality here in Guilford this summer, as the last Our
graves are multiplied and fresh earth heaps are increased. Coffins again
and again have been carried out of my doors. I have taken up a lot amongst
the tombs in the midst of them ; Sister Sarah died August 10th. Her
mother was overcome with grief, so that for ten days she refused to eat
what was necessary to sustain nature, and spent that time in sighing and
bitter mourning to the decay of her strength, and the distemper siezed on
her and she died August 29th. Then on the second day of the week fol-
lowing, the young daughter Sarah sickened [t. e., John Cotton's daughter],
and on the fourth day convulsion fits followed and she died September the
8th ; the same day Josias came home from Killingworth very sick, under
the sentence of death in himself and lay very dangerously hazanlous for
many days, but is now neariy recovered, that is a mercy. Yet I must
return to sighs and sorrows, saying as Naomi did, * Call me Marah ! * I
was full but now am empty. The good Lord support your hearts when
these sad tidings come to you. Sarah Rosseter possessed the idea long
before she was taken sick tliat she should die this summer and expressed so
much to several. AVhen death seized her, her mother desired her to give
some testimony by sign of her good hope, if she could not speak. She
fixed her eyes up to Ileaven and smiled and so died, and when dead lay
with a smiling countenance, to the admiration of the neighbors that were
present. That is comforting. The mother had clear and full assurances
of God's love Ixjfore her death and held out to the last. She spent much
time in prayer for her children — strongly pleading the covenant, and was
strongly persuaded and believing that God had eternal mercy in store for
them all. She was willing, nay dtjsirous to die and could look death in the
face with constant resolution until she had obtained the conquest through
her dear Redeemer, who had concjuered death and the grave. These are
rich and comforting mercies, but the greater my loss, I can rejoice in her
and their gain, but mourn my loss, the loss of a sweet companion, that
hath so long been a comforting companion in all my tribulation. I will
weep bitterly ! I might have enlarged many tilings, but I can hold it no
longer. Pray ! Pray I Pray for us ! So rests your lovmg father."

Rossiter was a freeman in Guilford in 1659, and took a prominent
part in supporting his father in his difficulties with New Haven
Colony. His first home lot in Guilford contained four acres, and lay
over against Thomas Clark's dwelling house ; but in 1 657 he ex-
change it for one of 7 J acres in **the Plain," formerly the

the Guilford Green, in 1710, and inherited from his father a parcel
of upland of thirteen acres, and one of marsh land containing 6^
acres. His nephew, John Cotton, wrote of him, about 1713 : " My
uncle Josiah was a plain, honest country gentleman and who had so
much learning and respect in that Government, as that he was chosen
to the Upper House, being one of the Assistants." He represented
Guilford nine times in the General Court, between 1683 and 1700,
and then was assistant until 1711. In October, 1703, he was made
Judge of the New Haven County Court and of the Probate Court.
He was town clerk of Guilford from 1685 to 1706, and from 1707
to his death, in 1716. In 1687, an assistant clerk was appointed
during his "providential weakness." He was one of the town's
twelve patentees in 1685, and served on many important commit-
tees. In 1702, he was made first naval officer of Guilford, which
was made one of the eight ports of entry in Connecticut. In 1676,
he was ensign of the town train band.

INTERPRETATION OP WOODWARD'S AND SAFFERY'S
MAP OF 1642, OR THE EARLIEST BAY PATH.
Bj Levi Badger Chase, Esq., of Sturbridge, Mass.
It may be well at the outset to quote from Hubbard's History of New
England,* written about 1 679, respecting some customs of the aborigines, —
** Every noated place of fishing or hunting was usually a distinct seigniory,
and thither all theire friends and allyes of the neighboring provinces used to
resort in the time of yeere to attend those seasons, partly for recreation,
and partly to make provission for the yeere. Such places as they chose for
their abode, were usually at the falls of great rivers, or neare the sea side,
where was any convenience of catching such as every summer and winter
used to come upon the coast : att which times they used, like good fellows,
to make all common ; and then those who had entertained theire neighbors
by the sea side, expected the like kindness from them againe, up higher in the
country : and they were wont to have theire great dances for mirth at these
generall meetings. With such kinde of entercourse were their affayres and
commerce carried on, between those that lived up in the country, and those
that were seated on the sea coast, about the havens and channells that is-
sued into t^ sea ; where there used to be at all times, clams, mussels, and
oaysters, and in the summer season lobsters, bass, or mullet, and sturgeon,
of which they used to take great plenty, and dry them in the smoake, and
keep them the rest of the yeare. Up higher, at the falls of great rivers,
they used to take salmon, shad, alewives, that used in great quantities,
more than cart loades, in the spring to pass up into the fresh waiter ponds
and lakes, therein to spawne, of all which they, with their wares, used to
take great store for their use. In all such places there was wont to bee
great resort."
From wigwam to wigwam, that had hospitable doors always open on the
leeward side, the prehistoric people drifted on their long-flistance paths.
A stone mortar for the grinding of parched corn, was a halting place ;
and if necessary, within their wraps of skins or woven feathers, they slept
as contentedly in the great pathless forests as the birds within their nests.
Their trails, by constant use, became paths.
Upon the advent of another race, the marks of the Indian's mocca-
sin e<l feet were very soon covered by the heavy steps of the white men.
The path of the Indian became the earliest roadway of the pioneer settlers.
There has been transmitted to us from early times, some knowledge, in-
definite in parts, of the general course of some of the long-distance paths
used by the Indians.
April 4, 1631, three sachems from Agawam, or vicinity of Springfield,
one of whom had for a time been in the service of Sir Walter Raleigh,
visited Gov. Winthrop, and bore to the English the first intelligence of the
Connecticut River, and of the way overland to their place of residence.
This is the route that is to l>e particularly considered later on ; and it is
sufficient at present to say that writers agree that from Boston it went
through South Framingham to Oxford.
• See First Edition (1816), p. 30.— EnrroE.
156 Woodward's and aafferjfs Map of 1642. [April,
There was another path mentioned in the grant of the old town of Men-
don, date about 1660. The township was laid out on both sides, and bounds
made at certain distances north and south each way from the path^'; which
proves that the ways usually traveled by the natives were well defined land-
marks. This was called "*' The Path to Nipmug Great Fond," or Chan-
bunagimgamaug. As the Indian village was probably at the outlet of the
pond, which was on the side next Oxford, it practically brought this path to
unite with the other coming from Boston.
In tlie History of Windham County, Conn^ mention is made of a well
known path of the Indians from Mount Hope and the Narraganset country
to Wabbaquaset, now Woodstock, known as the "Providence Path.'*
Another, the route of which is there described, came from Norwich and the
seacoast to the same point, and was called the " Nipmug Path."
Passing now to the westward, and following the vrriting of Rev. J. H.
Temple, as found in his Histories of North Brookfield and Palmer, we find
the location of Quabaug Old Fort and another set of Indian paths.
It was Mr. Temple's opinion that the " Ashquoach " of the Indians, called
by the English " Quabaug Old Fort," was situated on Indian Hill, north of
Great (now Sherman's) Pond in Brimfield.
Quoting from Mr. Temple : " It was directly upon the great Indian trail
from Woodstock (the Wabbaquasset country) to the Great Falls at Holyoke ;
and but a little way south of the trail from Wekabaug to Springfield."*
This " Fort " is named in the contemporary records oftener than any of
the neighboring defenses. The messengers and agents sent at different
times by the English authorities to the Quabaugs, for one purpose or
another, often mentioned their stop at " Quabaug Old Fort."
Four j)iitli8 are mentioned as diverging from this point.
The great wostern path from Quabaug **01d Fort" passed north of
Steerage Rock to the bend in Quabaug River ; parting there, one branch
kept on south of the river, to Springfield, the other crossed the river into
Palmer and on to the Great Falls of the Connecticut, now Holyoke City.
Another path ran to the falls of Ware River ; and still another to the
Indian village of Wickabaug, now West Brookfield.
The character of the country lying between these eastern and western
paths, for a distance of twenty or more miles north and south, is peculiarly
obstructive to an east and west thoroughfare ; so much so that even to this
day no road has been made or path found in that direction except where the
valley of the Quinebaug furnishes the way.
The town of Sturbridge occupies the middle portion of this territory, and
the river enters from the west about midway between the north and south
boundaries of the town.
The four long-distance paths from all the seaboard between Boston and
New London that have been described as approaching each other as they
were extended into the interior, were united as one great path in passing
thi'ough this valley ; and then after reaching " Quabaug Old Fort " stretched
away in diverging lines to the various places where tne Indians were wont
to resort.
To-day a person in Oxford or Woodstock desiring a drive to Springfield,
by country road the most direct, will travel along what was once called the
" great road " in Sturbridge.
The Quinebaug valley, as it lies in Sturbridge, and the hills that make
it, was called by the Indians, Tantiusque, in our language, meaning between

breast-shaped hills. Small hiUs or large knolls of even surface, composed
of gravel and sand, are a distinctive feature of this valley.
At the time of the landing of the Puritan emigrants upon the shores of
Massadiusetts Bay, Wehukshem was chief sachem of Tantiusque.
We have the name of Nodowahut, uncle of Webukshem, also Tamuggut
the messenger. Nascomos, or Wascomos, was son of Webukshem and suc-
ceeded his father as sachem.
There has been given, thus far, a brief and rough sketch of the condi-
tions in reference to paths at the time that the white man entered upon the
land.
We are not accustomed to think of any indebtedness to the Indians, but
in no re^>ect is so much owed them, as for leading the way through what
otherwise had been a trackless wilderness. The Indian paths and landmarks
^^ became, by adoption, those of the pioneers who gave to present generations
their homes in a smiling land." The story told to the people of the Bay
by the three Indians from Agawam in 1631, of the abundant crops, and of
Btrearos overstocked with fish, was not to be forgotten.
John Oldham, Samuel Hall and two others, all of Dorchester, made their
way through the wilderness, acting as prospectors in the interests of some of
the people of that town, who were being organized by William Pynchon
into a company for the purpose of moving to the fertile lands on the Con-
necticut River. The brief entry in Gov. Winthrop's Journal under date
of Sept. 4, 1633, contains all the account of that memorable journey that
has come down to us. The only place, in all their journey, that can be
identified as having been visited by John Oldham and his associates, is Tan-
tiusque, now Sturbridge. Their discoverery of the mine of graphite proves
their presence in the vicinity.
We now consider the " Interpretation of Woodward's and Saffery's Map
of 1642." These gentlemen, "skillful and approved artizans," as they
were called, were employed to establish the southern bounds of Massa-
diusetts Bay patent.
The map that they made has been published in " Historical Collections,"
by Holmes Ammidown, Vol. 1, p. 294. Written upon the map we find the
following : —
" A description of the extent of the bounds of Massachusetts Bay Patent,

tavelj the same as the originaL The dots which indicate the oooiiBe of the
paths are aboat a mile apart.
Tlie route of Woodward and Saffery between Boston and Springfield is
placed upon their map as an imaginary straight Ime. But when they noted
their passage of Nipnet River and Singletary Fond, they gave positive
knowledge of their position.
Passing from there over a stretch which they called " a hilly country,**
we are equally sure of where they were when they struck the ponds and
wigwams, which we recognize as the ponds now called Little Alum Pond
and Sherman's Ponds in Brimfield, and the wigwams are in the position of
^ Quabaug Old Fort" The path lietween these points, a distance of about
twenty miles, will be described later, after noticing some points on the
lower route between the Connecticut River and Providence. It may be a
question as to which of the two was the outward bound and which the re-
turn route, as traversed by the surveying party. Assuming, therefore, that
they followed a well known way from Boston to Springfield, they then
passed down the river to latitude 41° 55', and established a bound at Wind-
sor ferry place. From thence they appear to have made their way as
directly as possible across country to Providence, noting latitude from time
to time, and remarkable things seen. They passed by Shenipsit pond
above Rockville, and through the location of the villages of Tolland, Wil-
lington, Warrenville, Ashford and Phoenixville.
The place of their crossing Quinebaug River, on their return trip
through Connecticut and Rhode Island, was at Pomfrct Landing. The
river was called '* great river." Then they crossed what they called
" Monahag's River," now Five Mile River, at Killingly. Then, what they
called " river " was crossed, which is now ^Vhetstone Brook. These rivers
are marked rudely on the old map in their relative position and general
course at the i)lace of crossing, and when applied to the new map are found
to coincide almost exactly in locality.
To return to the northern route of the surveyors. A year or two later,
that is, January, 1G45, John Winthrop, Jr., passed over this road, having
with him one servant and a horse. A free translation of his diary, which
was written in abbreviated Latin, has been published by the Massachusetts
Historical Society.*
It appears that Mr. Winthrop's intention, when he left Boston, was to leave
the Springfield Path and pass down into the Mohigan country, but failed
to identify the way. He then thought he would visit his black-lead mine
property, but missed the way to tliat also. He started from Boston the
11th of January, and the second night camped on the north-east bank of Nip-
net or Blackstone River, having traveled in the two days a distance of
thirty miles by air-line. The third night he passed in the woods, and the
fourth, which was very cold, in a wigwam beyond " Quabaug Pond." The
next morning he was informed by Indians that he had ])assed the black-lead
mine and was headed towards Springfield, to which place he then decided
to go. He was obliged to camp out one more night, arriving in Springfield
on Sunday, having been six days on the road. Twenty-seven miles for the
third and fourth days' journey would have brought him to " Qualmug Old
Fort," Springfield being twenty miles farther on. It seems quite evident
that the pond that is called " Quabaug Pond," near which he passed the
fourth night in a wigwam, was the one near " Quabaug Old Fort."

The pond at East Brookfield called Quabaug is objected to not only be-
cause of its being off of the then known route, but it was, in proportionate
distance, too near Nipmuck river and too far from Springfield ; and could
not at any rate have been said to be beyond the black-lead mine.
The first grant of Brookfield, in 1660, describes the six mile square as
being near Quabaug ponds ; speaking of them in the plural number.
Right here it may not be improper to advance an idea that has occurred
to me. The pond at the " Old Fort " John Winthrop, Jr., called Quabaug ;
the next one east was called by the Indians Pookoo-quabaug (if we choose
BO to spell it) ; the next pond, still eastwardly of that, was called the same,
making the two Pookoo-quabaug ponds. The valley between was called
Pnttakoo-quabaug. The pond northward, at West Brookfield, was Wi-
quabaug, another at East Brookfield called Quabaug, and the whole region
was occupied by the Quabaug Indians.
The discovery of the path from Oxford to Brim field, by the only process,
perhaps, by which it ever could have been accomplished in detail, was in its
first inception accidental.
In 1729, an association of gentlemen obtained from the General Court of
the Province of Massachusetts a grant of land '^ lying between Brimfield
and Oxford, Brookfield and the Province line," for a new township,
which, after its settlement, was incorporated and received the name of Stur-
bridge.
As early as the following spring, 1730, the grantees proceeded to lay out
a portion of their land for settlement A careful description of the lots sur-
veyed was recorded in what is called "The Proprietors' Book," which is
preserved in the archives of the town. These earliest reconls contain
occasional mention of the Brimfield and Oxford Path, or the *' Old Path,"
and " Old Fordways." As found in the old book, these words convey to
the casuid reader little knowledge as to the location of those paths. For the
purpose of studying local history, I drew upon paper, from the verbal des-
criptions found in the records, the lines of all the first surveys of land,
placed the lots in their relative positions, and made a map of the town.
This enabled me to establish the actual position of the lots in the town and
also to locate the Brimfield and Oxford Path. There is a record which locates
the " Old Oxford Path " at a certain point, which we find upon the line
between Sturbridge and Charlton. We will first follow this path eastward,
up a hill into pasture land. The path is soon obscured by a field and a
north and south road, beyond which we enter a branch road extending
easterly, then turning to the north after a walk of about a mile. Right at
the elbow, the Path leaves the public highway and continues as a path for
about two miles, being cut by two north and south roads and broken by
farm improvements. It then connects with the present road extending four
or ^VQ miles onward to Oxford Plains, entering the village parallel with
what was, in the early history of that town, called Quabaug Lane or Path.
Returning to the Sturbridge and Charlton line, we find the path extend-
ing westward about half a mile, then obliterated for about the same dis-
tance, then appearing for a mile in pasture and woodland, and so alternat-
ing in shorter sections to the ** Great Road " near the Worcester South Agri-
cultural Society Fair Grounds. The grounds occupy the site of the Indian
village of Tantiusque.
The Path conformed with the " Great Road " as far as Fiskdale, thence
bore to the right over a swell of land, cropping out on uncultivated soil,
crossed the valley where once dwelt Wattalloowekin and Nakin, the good
160 Woodwards and 8affer%fs Map of 1642. [April,
Indians of Puttakooknppog who, in 1655, gave to the Bey. John Eliot,
apostle to the Indians, a large tract of land upon which to found a village
01 '^ Praying Indians," like that at Natick. The Path passed on the north
ride of Little Alum Pond, called on the old map *' great pond," and on to
« Quabaug Old Fort"
So we have Quabaug Lane or Path at Oxford village, and Quabaug Fort
at Brimfield, connected by a path still traceable, and very direct in its course.
It is this section of the old way from Boston to SpriiJ^eld which I claim
as my own discovery, and that no other person could have traced this old
road in detail, without the resurrection, in the manner described, of the re-
cords found in Sturbridge.
We have ascertained, by the Interpretation of Woodward's and Saffery'g
Map, that this path from Boston to Springfield was used by white men as
early as 1 642. From the records of town orders and votes passed by the
inhabitants of Springfield, we learn the name of this old highway. In the
History of Springfield, by M. A. Green, page 99, we find transcribed from
the earliest town records, that have survive<l to this day, the following : —
" Ordered by the town in November 1646 ; That Jno. Clarke or those that
shall Joyne with him in y* buniinge of Tarr shall have liberty to gather
candlewood in y* playne in y* Bay Path, p'vided they come not to gather
any in this side the great pond and y^ swamps that point out from it to
Chickopce river and the Mill river w^ is Judged to be about five miles from
the town."
In April following, 1647, special instructions to surveyors were, besides
keeping the highways in condition, to open " A Horse way over the meddow
to ye ' Bay Path,' and a Bridge over the 3 comer Brooke into the i>laine."
The Kev. John Eliot wrote, wliile at Windsor, in 1649: "20myles up
the river layeth Springfield where Mr. Moxon is pastor. And this town
overland from tlie Bay layeth : 80 : or : 90 : myles South West and is the
road way to all the towns upon this river and [that] lye more southward."
Tliis was the way over which passed all the parties of immigrants, and all
the intercourse between the Bay settlements and those on Connecticut river,
overland, previous to 1648. Tliis was "The Bay Path" of Dr. J. G.
Holland's historical novel bearing that title, of which the author writes as
follows : —
** llie principal communication with the Eastern settlement was by a path
marked by trees a portion of the distance, and by sb'ght clearings of brush
and thicket for the remainder. No stream was bridgeil, no hill graded, and
no marsh drained. The path led through woods which bore the marks of
the centuries, over barren liills that had been licked by the Indians' hounds
of fire, and along the banks of streams that the seine had never dragged.
This path was known as the * Bay Path,' or the path to the Bay, and re-
ceived its name in the same manner as the multitudinous ' old Bay-roads '
that led to Boston from every quarter of Masssachusett*. It was wonder-
ful what a powerful interest was attached to the Bay Path. It was the
channel through which laws were communicated, through which flowed news
from distant friends, and through which came long, loving letters and mes-
sages. It was the vaulted passage along which echoed the voices that called
from across the ocean, and through which, like low-toned thunder, rolled
the din of the great world. That rough thread of soil, chopped by the
blades of a hundred streams, was a bond that radiated at each terminus into
a thousand fibres of love and interest, and hope and memory.
'^ The Bay Path was charmed ground — a precious passage— and during
1901.] Richard Warren of the Mayflower. 161
the springy Uie sonuxiery and the early autumn, hardly a settler at Agawam
went out of doors, or changed his position in the fields, or looked up from
his labor, or rested on his oars upon the bosom of the river, without turning
his eyes to the point at Tvrhich that Path opened from the brow of the
wooded hill up on the east, where now the bell of the huge arsenal tells
hourly of the coming of a stranger along the path of time.
^ And when some worn and weary man came in sight, upon his half-
starved horse, or two or three pedestrians, bending beneath their packs and
swinging their sturdy staves, were seen approaching, the village was astir
from one end to the other. Whoever the comer might be, he was welcomed
with a cordiality and universality that was not so much an evidence of
hospitality, perhaps, as of the wish to hear of the welfare of those who were
loved, or to feel the kiss of one more wave from the great ocean of the
world.
** And when one of the settlers started forth upon the journey to the Bay,
with his burden of letters and messages, and his numberless conmiissions
for petty purchases, the event was one well known to every individual, and
the adventurer received the benefit of public prayers for the prosperity of
his passage and the safety of his return."

cites that in consideration of such conveyance, the son Jabez gave a
bond for the support of his father and mother.* Mr. Warren was

settled in Preston, Conn., in 1747. He was a Colonel, from Pres-
ton, Conn., in the Revolutionary War, and afterwards became a

JOHN WHITEHEAD OF NEW HAVEN AND BRAN-
FORD, CONN.
By James Shepakd, Esq., of New Britain, Conn.
John Whitehead, with his brother Thomas, was bronght to this country
when a mere child, by Francis Hall of New Haven, at the request of Dea.
Greorge Alcocke of Roxbury, Mass., who was uncle to the Whitehead boys.
According to the ** Halls of New England," by Rev. David B. Hall, Francis
Hall and his brother William came from Milford, County of Surrey, Eng-
land, in the ship with Rev. Henry AVliit^field and his party of emigrants
from Kent and Surrey, who settled at Guilford, Conn. They arrived in
New Haven in time for Francis Hall to attend the meeting in Mr. New-
man's barn, June 4, 1639, where said Hall signed the fundamental agreement
The first record found of the Whitehead boys is on page 60, of Hoadly'g
New Haven Colony Records, Vol. 1, when at a court held Dec 1, 1641,
'* Itt is ordered that Goodm Hall shall have liberty to dispose of the chil-
dren wch. he brought ovr. till tlie court have light to dispose otherwise of
them, provided thatt they be well looked vnto and well vsed. And Goodrng
Hitchcock who is to have one of them is to pay to the Treasurer what is due
for the boy and Groodm. Hall is to be payd out of itt whatt is due to hinu"
That this order relates to the AVTiitehead boys is shown by the next
reference to them, on Feb. 1, 1647, on page 365 of the same book, as fol-
lows: **John Thompson attumey for Thomas Allcote in the Baye re-
quirreth youthes of Francis Halle w*^** he brought from England long since,
that is to saye John Whitehead & Thomas Whitehead, and saith he hath
order to send them to the said Thomas Allcote whoe is ther vnkell.
" Francis Halle saith at the desire of their vnkell, Mr. Allcote of Rox-
berey, siuce deceased, hee brought these youthes ouer, and was at great
charges with them for their passage and other occasions, w^ he saith Mr.
Allcote promised to paye to his satisfaction when he came heare, but when
he came ther vnkell was deade, and knew not of whom to seeke his money,
iff the boyes had dyed he should have lost it, for ought he knows, for he
knew of no other vnkell they had, but he was blamed that he had not used
that meanes to finde oute ther vnkell or send to ther mother as he might

hare done, (thoogfae he sudi lie halh tent,) hat he acquainted the oonrta
then w"* it, and w''* ther approbatioo one c^ them was disposed to '^•**'^f
Hitchcoke, the other he kept himselfe till thej might hare fnnher light to
dispose of them.
*' The court being dissieroas that the diilldren might hane no wronge, and
also that the ptjes w^ hare favonght them Tp heitherto, (seeing thejr were
small,) might be justly satisf jed, did seriooslj consider and weigfae the
charges and hazards die sereral ptjes had bine at w^ them, as also the ad-
vantages the bojes mi^t be vnto than. And after a large debate conoem-
ing those acoonntB, in the Issue agreed, that Thomas Mliithead w^ was
with Mathias Hitchcocke, be at the end of 5 jeares and eight moneths fnMn
the time he had hime, sett free, at w^ time the said >fathias put the said
Thomas to Daride Atwatto- for 4 rears and 4 monethes, thoughe he had
no right so to do, but now the said Thomas declaring himselfe willing to
abide with his master David Atwatter, till he maje heare from lus vnkell,
so he maje have just satisfaction for the time to oome, so longe as he stajeth
with hime. Thev bothe agreed before the courte, that he should have 3£
a jeare, meate, drinke and clothes. And concerning John Whithead, it
is ordered that Francis Halle sett hime free from this time, and pave vnto
him 50. S." Pope's " Pioneers of Mass.," under Thomas Alcock, says :
'^ His sister Elizabeth Whitehead of Lemington Priors wrote him 25 (8)
1647 concerning her sons, John and Thomas Whitehead then with Francis
Hall of New Haven, who formerly lived in Buckintun parish where her
uncle Darbie lived." The note book of William Aspinwall is Mr. Pope's
authority. This letter explains how the Alcocks were uncle to the White-
head boys, Mrs. Whitehead being Elizabeth Alcock, sister of said Alcocks,
and also shows that she was living at Lemington Priors (now Lemington)
in Warwickshire, Eng., in 1647. We find a Bulkingtou parish but no
Buckintun in Warwickshire. This location for Francis Hall casts a doubt
on the statement of his English home herein before given. The letter is
dated the 8th month of 1647 and as under the old style Feb. would have
been the 12th month of the same year, the appearance of Mr. Alcock's
attorney in New Haven was evidently the result of the said letter, (xeorge
Alcock of Roxbury, who died Dec. 30, 1 640, was a brother of Thomas
Alcock who resided at Boston, Mass., in 1647. Francis Hall's statement
that when he arrived here Mr. George Alcock was dead, is contradicted
by the record, which shows that Mr. Hall was in New Haven more
than a year and a half before George Alcock died ; but probably Mr. Hall
was negligent, and perhaps Mr. Alcock's death was the first knowledge
he had of hun after coming to this country. He had, no doubt, learned of
Mr. Alcock*8 death when " he acquainted the courte " with the matter in
1641, at which time Thomas Whitehead was given to Mr. Hitchcock, while
John was held by Mr. Hall and probably liv^ with him until freed by the
court in 1647. The five years and eight months when Thomas was to be
set free had more than expired when the court order of 1647 was made,
and although he was to stay for a time with ]VIr. Atwater he probably soon
left him, for, on the 7th of the following March, ** David Attwater entered
action against Mathias Hitchoocke for 10 £ wch the said Mathias Hitch-
oocke receaved of David Atwater, for the servic of Thomas Whitehead
for, 4 years and eight moneths wch Mathias Hitchcocke could not perform,
he not haueing a full right to dispose of the said Thomas." (Hoadly's
New Haven Colony Records, Vol. 1, p. 370.) What became of Thomas
Whitehead is not known, and this is the last record so far found of him.
182 John Whitehead of New Haven. [April,
John Whitehead probably left Mr. Hall in 1647 and went to work for
Mr. Jasper Crane, for, on July 4, 1648 (Hoadly, Vol. 1, page 391), we
find that << John Whitehead servant to Mr. Crane was complained of for
want of a pine in the locke of his pec His master saith it was no other
defect than hath passed this 8 years and oould not be mended without a
new stocke and the gunsmith said it was sufficient The court for this
time passed it without a fine but agreed that it should be mended."
Although he left Mr. Hall he appears to have received only ten of the fifty
shillings that the court ordered Mr. Hall to pay the said John Whitehead,
for, on Feb. 6, 1648, Mr. Crane sued Francis Hall for sundry items, one of
which waB forty shilliogs "due Jno. Whitehead, his servant, wch was
ordered by this court for Fran. Hall to paye " etc
There was one Samuel Whitehead in New Haven when the first
agreement was signed, Nov. 24, 1638, who remained in New Haven.
'Hiere was also an Isaac Whitehead in New Haven in 1643, and a Sister
Whitehead, when the meeting house was seated in 1646, but nothing is
found to show any relationship between any of these Whiteheads and the
Whitehead boys. The fact that they appear to have been utterly indiffer-
ent, leaving said boys to the tender mercies of Francis Hall and Uie Court,
indicates that there was no near relationship.
John Whitehead settled in Branford, Conn., where he married Martha,
daughter of Leslie Bradfield, March 9, 1661. (Branford Land Records.)
According to the revised copy of the church records, John Whitehead
and "Martha B. Whitehead" became members of the church in 1653,
but of course her name must liave been Martha Bradfield at that time^
thus showing that the record has been changed since 1653. He was also
one of the parties to the new church covenant in 1067, and in 1669 was
nominated for freeman. On Jan. H), 1G69, the Recorders court at Bran-
ford did ** sentence yt the said John Whitehead shall paye or cause to be
payed unto William Iloadly the sum of 15S. for ye damiage that the said
Jolm Wliitehead's hoges did m. AVilliam Hoadly's orcheat in eating of
his apples." (Branford Land Records, Vol. 1, page 209.) John White-
head deeds land to John Charles on May 18, 1678, to Samuel Frisbie on
Jan. 19, 1GG9, and to Qnitton Stockin on Dec. 27, 1080, but the records
do not show how nor when he obtained said lands. In 1 682 he, with oth-
ers, made choice of their plow land in Branfonl. lie died there Ixifore
the second Monday of June, 1695, when his widow Martha exhibited the
inventory of the estate to the County Court at New Haven, and was
appointed administrator on his estate, and the names and ages of the eight
surviving children were given as follows :
"John Whitehead, oldest, Hannah Whitehead, 31,
^I'amuel " 23, Mercy " 27,
Eli])halet " 21, Damaris " 25,
Thomas " 14, Elizabeth " 18."
The said inventory is found in Vol. 2, of the New Haven Probate
records, page 184, and amounts to £231. 14. 00. The eldest son, John,
died before the estate was setthid, as is shown from the following, dated the
first Monday of March, 1707-8:
"Administration on the estate of John Whitehead late of Branford
deceased granted to Mehitable widow relict of the deed, xxx ordered to
make an inventory — by reason that her said husband, being eldest son,
and Thomas Whitehead have not reed, their portions of their father's
1901-] John Whitehead of New Haven. 183
estate, John Whitehead Senr. formerly of said Branford deed, xxx The
court being certified by receipts under ye hands of Peter Tiler, Benjamin
Howd, WUliam Luddington and Michael Pamer in right of their wives
that they have received their full portions of the inventoried estate of their
&ther said John Whitehead Senior, deed., and also their portion of their
brother Eliphalet Whitehead since deceased, do order that all the residue
of the real inventoried estate, (except the widow's dower sett off and lands
allotted to said four daughters,) be divided by three freeholders of Bran-
ford, a double share thereof to the heirs of John Whitehead, deed, son of
John Whitehead Senior, and one single share to said Thomas Whitehead,
and for as much as Samuel Whitehead son to sd. John Whitehead, Senr.
deed, hath been absent about 8 year and not known to be living or dead, if
he happen to return must be considered by an equal portion with the rest "
&c. (New Haven Coimty Court Records, Vol. 2, page 342).
The final distribution of the estate of John Whitehead, Jr., is recorded
on page 496, Vol. 3, New Haven Probate Records, under date of Oct 29,
1714, John Russell, Uzall Ward well and Edward Frisbie, dividers, when
Thomas, Samuel, Elizabeth Howd, Hannah Tyler and Mercy Luddington
are given their portions direct, the remainder being given to the legal repre-
sentatives of John and Damaris.
On March 16, 1707, Martha Whitehead "widdow & admm. estate of
my late husband John Whitehead of Branford deseeased," deeds to her
•* three sons-in-law, Peter Tyler Senr. of Branford, William Luddington
of East Haven, and Benjamin Howd of Branford," two thirds of the
homestead, signing the deed by her mark, M. W. (Branford Land Records,
VoL 2, p. 203.) On March 1, 1707-8, she deeds land to her son-in-law
Micah Pamer " for part of his wife's portion." (Vol. 3, p. 34.) On Jan.
3, 1708, "John and Thomas Whitehead, Peter Tyler, Senr., in the right
of Hannah his wife, Micah Pamer in right of Damaris his wife, and Ben-
jamin Howd in right of Elizabeth his wife, all of Branford, and William
Laddington of New Haven in right of Mary his wife, in consideration of
our near Love, Good will and Dutifull affection to our Dear Mother
Martha Whitehead," deed her their right in the house &c (Vol. 3, p. 78).
This deed, in connection with the Court order before noted, shows that
Jokn Whitehead, Jr., was living on Jan. 3, 1707-8, and died before March
7 of the same year.
On JVIay 21, 1709, Martha Whitehead deeds land to Hannah Tyler, in
" Consideration of the great care and relief which I have had from my
Daughter Hannah In my long weak desolate condition " (Vol. 3, p. 100) ;
and on Dec. 4, 1711, she deeds land to her son Thomas. Several other
deeds appear of record from Martha Whitehead.
The names of the children appear both in the land and Church records
of Branford, the date of the baptism, with one exception, being the same
as the date of the birth.

VIALL FAMILY RECORD.
Communicated by Julian Potti:r, Esq., of Newport, R. I.
TiTE following is a family record that appears in an old Bible
now the property of Samuel Appleton Blatchford, inherited from
his father, Samuel Blatchford, Associate Justice of the Su])reme
Court, U. S. A., who had it from his father, Hon. Richard Milford
Blatchford, U. S. Minister to Rome, ray grandfather. The latter
presumably inherited the Bihle from his mother, Julia Ann Mum-
ford, whose mother was Mary Viall the fifth child of John Viall
and Elizabeth Donnelly his wife, who were maiTied, according to
the family record. May the 5th day, 1747, but whose marriage is set
down in the records of Trinitv Church, Newport, R.I., as follows:
"April 15^\ 1747, John Viall m. Elizabeth Donnelly."
The ancestry of John* Viall (born 12 Jan., 1721 ; died 30 Sept.
1803) is clear — James,' Jonathan,* John.* Of his wife P^lizabeth,
all that is known is that she had a brother Terence Donnelly, who
was Town Schoolmaster of Newport, R. I., in 1751-2, and who
later had a school of his own and lived with his brother-in-law, John
Viall, at his house on Prospect Ilill Street, in Newport. It is
thought he was an Irishman, and that he had some connection with
Trinity College, Dublin. Proof of the ancestry of the Newport
schoolmaster, and of his connection with Trinity College, would be
interesting.

This narrative of the Indian depredations in Dunstable has slumbered in
the court files of New Hampshire many years. John Lovewell and bis
wife Anna settled in Dunstable in 1 680. They were the parents of Capt.
John Lovewell, the hero of Pequawket. The testimony of these aged de-
ponents concerning the depredations by the Indians in Dunstable is impor-
tant, and of greater interest from the fact that they had personal knowl-
edge of the events to which they refer. The deposition was made in 1744,
and the statement that " about fifty-five years ago " four were killed in
AnguBt and two in September of the same year, corresponds with the ac-
credited annals of Dunstable, which announce the massacre of Joseph Ha0-
sell, Anna his wife, Benjamin his son, and Mary Marks, the second day of
September, 1691, and the record that " Christopher Temple and Obadiah
Perry dyed by the hand of our Indian enemies " the twenty-eighth of the
tame month.
188 8ame Ancient DunHable JBistory. [Aprfl,
The statement dut ^' aboat forty eight yean ago/' or about 1696, *< there
was one killed & two captivated & aboat the same time there was one
l^ed or captiyated " is su^^estiye. If the yeneraUe witnesses refer to the
massacre of the Parris fan^, the evidence is important. Hon. Charles J.
Fox, in the History of Dunstable, assumes that Robert Parris, his wife and
one daughter, were slain soon after 1703 ; and quotes from Fanner and
Moore's Hist Coll., Vol. II., page 306, the escape and preservation of two
daughters, '' one of whom married a Richardson and the other a Goffe,
lather of CoL John Goffe." The records of Chelmsford testify that Josiah
Richardson married Mercy Parris, December 14, 1687. Robert Parris,
the father, however, was living at that date, and was the representative
from Dunstable at itie third session of 1689. It is reasonably certain that
the daughter Mercy was not of the household at the time of die massacre;
and if the daughter Hannah was one of the two who escaped by conceal-
ment, the event occurred several years previous to 1703, for CoL John
Goffe, son of John and Hannah (Parris) Goffe, was bom 1701.
In their memory of the many disasters that befell the frontier settlement,
the sad events of 1706 are definitely stated. '^ About thirty nine Years
ago * * there was eleven Persons killed & three captivated " : at this
time Nathaniel Blanchard, Lydia bis wife and one child, Hannah Blan-
ehard, Elizabeth wife of John Cummings, Jr., and Rachel Galusha, and
several soldiers at the two garrisons, were slain. The witnesses recall
three captives, while the accredited annals preserve the names of four who
irere captured at this time. Thev were Richard Hassell, Samuel Butter-
field, the wife of Lieut Butterfield, and Samuel Whitney, senior.
The reference of the narrators to casualties '^ about thirty three years
ago " is not confirmed by other records, and it is possible the Lovewelb
had in mind events that are supposed to have occurred a few years earlier.
In the year 1724, the deponents say, eight were killed and four captured.
This statement refers to the ambuscade near Thornton's Ferry. In this
instance the witnesses do not allege that all the dead were residents of
Dunstable. The persons killed were Ebenezer French, Thomas Lund,
Oliver Farwell, Ebenezer Cummings, Benjamin Carter, Daniel Baldwin,
John Burbank and Johnson. The first ^ve were Dunstable men.
Three of the four captives were Nathan Cross, Thomas Blanchard and
William Lund.
According to the terms of the deposition, all of the foregoing casualties
occurred within the limits of ancient Dunstable. In the allegation that
" in the year 1 725 there was of the Inhabitants of Dunstable five killed
and two wounded," there is no assertion of the place where these casual-
ties occurred. The aged parents, mindful of the loss of a son, in this con-
nection refer to the Lovewell fight at Pequawket. The ^ve Dunstable
men slain in that memorable expedition were Capt. John Lovewell, Lieut.
Josiah Farwell, Lieut. Jonathan Kobbins, Ensign John Harwood and
Robert Usher. Samuel Whiting, Jr., was one of the two Dunstable men
said to have been wounded.
The statement that John Lovewell, the deponent, lived to the great age
of more than 1 20 years, has appeared in print many times, and it is one of
those peculiar traditions that people accept without investigation. It is
well known that John Lovewell died about 1752, and now equally certain
that his age was about 101 years.

OLNEY ARNOLD.
By Hbxbt B. Metcalf, A Jf .
Gen. Olnet Abnold was born in Newton, Massachusetts, Jan-
nary 17, 1822, and died in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, October 3,
1900. He became a member of the New-England Historic Genea-
logical Society in 1894, and served it as vice president for Rhodo
Island from 1897 to the time of his death. He, the oldest of eight
children, was the son of Seth and Belinda (Streeter) Arnold. Am
a joung man, Seth Arnold ranked as an expert in cotton manu-
facturing, and at the time of Olney's birth his temporary home was
in Newton, where he was erecting or starting a new cotton factory,
aoon thereafter returning to Rhode Island.
The family home of the Arnolds has been in Rhode Island since
1661, and the family has been eminent in Rhode Island history.
Thomas' Arnold, the first of the American family of whom we hayo
any record, came from England in 1635 and settled in Watcrtown,
Massachusetts, whence, in 1661, he removed to Providence, duly
became a land owner, and was elected a member of the General As-
sembly. Richard,* son of Thomas, was Speaker of the House of
Deputies and also one of the Council of Sir Edmund Andros. John*
was son of Richard and father of Seth.* Capt. Nathan* Arnold, of
the revolutionary army, died from wounds received in the Battle of
Rhode Island in 1778. Nathan* Jr., was the father of Seth' and
grandfather of Olney.* The family name of Arnold is very promi-
nent in the record of public service in Rhode Island, but Olney
Aniold's ancestry included many men of eminence, of name other
than Arnold, among whom were William Carpenter, Thomas Olney
and Richard Waterman, three of the original proprietors of Provi-
dence Plantations, and among the leading citizens of their time.
Each of the three represented the town in the General Assembly,
and each was a member of the governor's council. Gen. Arnold
190 Olney Arnold. [April,
also claimed descent from Richard Carter, another representatiye of
Providence in the General Assembly, and from Thomas Angell,
who accompanied Roger Williams when he landed at Slate Rock in
1636. It is simple justice to say that Olney Arnold well honored
his ancestiy.
Olne/s parents contemplated a liberal education for their boy, and
he was prepared for college at the then famous Academy of James
Bushee in Smithfield. But the inclination of the young man was
towards mercantile pursuits, and, on leaving the academy, he was for
a time employed in a village store. He, however, soon found entrance
to the more congenial profession of banking, to which profession,
for half a century, he devoted himself, and in which he became emi-
nent. In 1853, he was called from Woonsocket to be cashier of
the People's Bank of Pawtucket, of which institution and its succes-
sor— The First National Bank — he was cashier and afterwards
president almost half a century. For about the same period he was
treasurer of the Providence County Savings Bank of Pawtucket.
He also had the management of numerous trusts and the care of
many estates, and was director and trustee of many corporations and
institutions.
When David H. Ryder, Alfred H. Littlefield and a few others,
conceived the thought of acclimating the manufacture of hair-cloth
at Pawtucket, Mr. Arnold, anxious to increase the business of the
place, cheerfully afforded his aid in the enterprise. The Pawtucket
Hair Cloth Company was a vigorous offspring of their faith, fore-
cast and untiring energy, and from the beginning of the enterprise,
Mr. Arnold was treasurer of the company. He organized the Paw-
tucket Electric Lighting Company, had been treasurer and director
of the Cumberland Mills Company since its organization, was a
director of the Royal Weaving Company, of the Pawtucket Gas
Company and the Dexter Yam Company, was treasurer and director
of the Rhode Island Steam Heating Company, treasurer and director
of the Walnut Hill Cemetery, Pawtucket, and president and treasurer
of the Doctor Seth Arnold Medical Corporation of Woonsocket.
1901.] Olney Arnold. 191
In 1844 he was married to Phebe Dudley, of Dudley, Massachu-
setts. More than fiftf years of wedded life was vouchsafed to them,
although no children blessed their home. Mrs. Arnold was for
twenty-five years an invalid, but her husband was ever the same
loving and devoted companion and helpmate as when he pronounced
his wedding vows. Mrs. Arnold died March 6, 1895.
Olney Arnold was from his young manhood a leader among men.
In affairs of business, of state, or of church, he stood at the front,
and this not of self-assumption, but by common consent ; and his
power of leadership hardly failed him until he had well passed his
years of three-score and ten. He served the State of Rhode Island
in both branches of the General Assembly and in many other posi-
tions of responsibility, his uncompleted service at time of his decease
being as commissioner on new State House and commissioner of
sinking fimds. His record of service to town and city includes
presidency of town council (by practically unanimous election) , com-
missioner of city sinking fund and commissioner of water works.
He had been a member of the Sons of the American Revolution
since 1890, and was president of the Patria Club, a patriotic organ-
ization of Pawtucket, as well as a member of the Rhode Island His-
torical Society of Providence. He had been a Free Mason since
1855, when he became a member of Morning Star Lodge, Woon-
socket. He was a member of the Royal Arch Chapter, of the
Council of Royal and Select Masters, and of Holy Sepulchre Com-
mandery of Knights Templars.
In the Universalist church, of which he was for some sixty years
a member, and in all auxiliary organizations thereof, he has filled
nearly all of the most important positions, including that of presi-
dent of its national convention. In business relations he never
defaulted on any of his obligations, and '^his word was as good as
his bond." On propositions of public importance in local affairs,
hia opinion and influence were always among the first to be sought.
In politics he classed himself as a Democrat, but always dared to
assert his independence of party dictation. In his younger years he
192 Early JTew England Fullers. [April,
enrolled himself in the militiay and having a love for the serrice, he
rose from the rank of private to that of major-general. He did not
•erve in the army in the civil war ; but in incidental service at home,
in care for sick and wounded soldiers and in provision for soldiers'
&milies, his contribution was of value to the State and nation, not
excelled, if equalled, by that of any other citizen.
Mr. Arnold was never a man of large wealth, but from his income
he made his home very beautiful and attractive, and his daily gener-
osity was almost boundless. All local charitable organizations bore
his name on their rolls of membership, and there are few local
churches of any denomination but have received tangible evidence of
his good will and sympathy. He not only provided regularly for
many beneficiaries, but transient applicants for help that seemed to
him honest seldom left him without being helped. His contribu-
tions to public philanthropic work were generous, systematic and
continuous. He most worthily discharged the duty of being his
own executor. In his life-work, Olney Arnold bore well his part
as a good citizen and a true man.

SOME GUILFORD, CONN., SETTLERS AND THEIR
RELATIONSHIP, OR THE SHEAFE FAMILY
IN ENGLAND AND NEW ENGLAND.
By Walter K. Watkixs, Esq., of Maiden, Mass.
Some of the principal settlers of Guilford, Conn., were men from the
county of Kent, England, and it was an old Kent family, the Guildfords
or Guldefords of Hemsted, Kent, from which it derived its name.
Located at Hemsted, in Benenden parish, which adjoins Cranbrook and
Rolvenden, soon after the Conquest, the Guhlford family were prominent,
both from their public service and through the alliances they formed. It
was in 1575 that Sir Thomas Guldeford entertained Queen Elizabeth at
Hemsted. A modern mansion has since been erected there, and b the
seat of Viscount Cranbrook, a recent creation (1878), the Guldford bar-
onetcy having become extinct in the first part of the eighteenth century.
Another residence of the Guldefords was Halden-Place, in Rolvenden
parish, which came into their family by marriage of an heiress of the
Haldens, temp. Henry FV.
It was Sir Henry Guldeforde, son of Sir Thomas above mentioned, who
in 1587 sold a Thomas Kitchell 100 acres of marsh ground in Guldeforde
marsh, in the parish of East Guldeforde, Sussex. Tliis marsh is now
known as Guldeforde Level.
It was shortly before this period that Thomas Sheaffe, grandfather of
Jacob the emigrant, purchased lands in Woodchurch, Kenardington and
Apledore, Kent, of Richard Guildford, son of Sir John and half brother
of Sir Thomas — Richard having become possessed of the Manor of Home,
1901.] Sheaf t Family of Guilford, Conn. 209
alias Kenardington, by marriage with an heiress of the Horn family.
After this, Richard, not having taken the oath of supremacy to Queen Eliza-
beth, was declared attainted and fled the country, and his lands were for-
feited to the crown.
At Tenterden, where a branch of the Whitfields Uved, Pittlesden Manor
at one time (Hen. VII.) belonged to Sir Edward Guldeford, Kt. Kenchill
in the same parish also belonged to him.
Troops of young Flemings came to England in the time of Edward III.,
to establish the cloth trade, and finding Cranbrook, Kent, a favored spot
for the industry, it was started there, and broadcloth halls were soon built,
where the master manufacturer lived and kept his stock. Many of these
halls are standing to-day ; one of these is Willesley House (the residence
of W. Smith Marriot, Esq.). Willesley was bequeathed to Edmond,
father of Jacob Sheafe of Boston, by his uncle, William Sheafe of Cran-
brook, who received it from his wife's step-father. Dr. Thomas Lange, of
St. Cosmos and Damain-in-the-Blean, near Canterbury, in 1594. The
doth trade prospered, and large fortunes were made by the " Grey Coats
of Kent," as they were called after their dress. Of these cloth workers
were the Sheafe family, and others with whom they intermarried.
Thomas Sheffe of Cransbrook, Kent, in his will proved at Canterbury,
10 July, 1520, mentions his desire to be buried in the church of St. Duns-
tan of Cranbrook, within St. Thomas's Chancel, before the image of Our
Lady of Pity there.

Mr. P2ddie, Vicar of Cranbrook, was the Rev. William Eddy who suc-
ceeded Robert Roads in 1589, and continued there "in low circumstances"
till he died, in 1816. He was paid by the wardens for transcribing the
register fairly, from 1558, into the large parchment book still existing, and
had the clerk's wages for calling the psalms, &c His son Samuel, it is
said, was the same who came to Plymouth, Mass., in 1630. The predecessor
of Mr. Roads was Richard Fletcher, who was made vicar in 1558. He
was father of Richard Fletcher, chaplain to Queen Elizabeth, who attended
Mary Queen of Scots at her execution. The son was made Bishop of
Bristol in 1589, Worcester in 1592, London in 1594, and he died in 1596
(he was father of John Fletcher the dramatist). Another son was Giles,
who in 1588 was an ambassador to Russia, of which nation he wrote a
curious account in 1590, which was suppressed lest it should give offence
to Russia. He married, 16 Jan., 1580, Joan Sheafe, and their sons were:

Edmond Sheafe of Cranbrook, in his will, dated 1 Nov. 1625, proved in
the Archdeaconry Court of Canterbury, 11 Dec., 1626, mentions among
other relatives : Joane my wife, to my wife's five children, and to my three
sons-in-law which married her daughters — to Joane my wife furniture, etc.
at her discretion " betwixt her children and mine " — my loving brother-
in-law Mr. Nicholas Jordan, £sq., for my wife's sake, his own sister, to be
overseer; my loving kinsman and neighbor Smallhope Bigge of Cram-
brooke, and Robert Kitchell, now of Crambrooke, my wife's eldest son,
alflo overseers.
His wife's five children were probably John, Harmon, Jacob, Mary, and
eldest daughter Margaret, who married Robert Kitchell. Robert Kitchell
and Margaret Sheafe were licensed to marry, 21 June, 1631, she being of
Tenterden, age 30, and he of Rolvenden, and he is stated to have been
bom in 1604. Under the above circumstances it would seem that son
* A chrisom child was one buried within a month of its birth ; therefore this was
probably a twin to Jacob, who must have been born in June or July, 1616.

named after her grandmoUier, .who married Rev. Jeremiah
Sarah, who died at Guilford, 10 May, 1651.
Mary Sheafe, bapt 1620, at Cnmbrook, married Robert Merriam of
Hadlow, Kent, who died at Concord, Mass., 15 Feb., 1682, age 72 yean ;
while his widow survived till 22 July, 1698, dying at the age of 72 years.
Mary Merriam, in her will written in 1688, mentions her cousin (neice)
Mrs. Elizabeth Corwis, eldest daughter of her brother Jacob Sheafe ; her
cousin (neice) Mrs. Mehitable JMieaf, youngest daughter of the same
brother ; her sister's four children living in the Southern parts, viz : John,
Nathaniel, Manr and Joanna Chittendon; her cousin John Ruck; her
cousin Samuel Kuck.
John and Samuel Ruck were sons of Thomas Ruck of Charlastown,
Salem and Boston, who deposed 19 July, 1686, as aged about 48 years,
and whose household goods were shipt from Maiden, Essex, to New Eng-
land. (Lechford, p. 118.) He had a son Thomas, lost at sea in 1658;
and a daughter, Joan, married Henry Famham. He was first cousin to
Mrs. Mary (Sheafe) Merriam, being the son of her aunt, who married John
Ruck, lie is mentioned in the will of Thomas Sheafe, bis grandfather,
in 1G04, and also la the will of his grand uncle, William Shesie, in 1615.
In 1G39 be constituted bis friend Thomas Ruck of London, haberdasher,
and Thomas Plum of Maiden^ Essex, gent., attorneys for him in England.
In IGoO, John Ruck of Boston, N. E., and Thomas Ruck of London, haber-
dasher of small wares, were attorneys for William Groodwin. (AspinwalL)
Thomas Ruck of Loudon was perhaps the brother of John, and son of
Thomas of Salem who was lost at sea in 1653. Thomas Ruck, sen., came
to New England in an adventure with Joseph Meriam of Concord (brother
of Robert), and William Hatch of Sdtuate, in July, 1638. (Lechford,
p. 163.)
William Chittenden came with his brothers-in-law to Gkulford in 1689.
It is possible that he was the William, son of Robert Chittendon, who was
baptized at Marden, Kent, in March, 1594 ; and it was at Marden that five
of the children of Edmund and Elizabeth (Taylor) Sheafe were baptized
— the half brothers and sisters of Jacob Sheafe. He had several children
bom in Connecticut, among them the four mentioned in the will of Mary
Merriam. He died, 1 Feb., 1662, and his widow Joan married, 1 May,
1665, Abraham Cruttenden, and died 16 Aug., 1668.
3. Thomas Sheafe, bapt in 1562; d. 12 Dec. 1639; married Maria,
b. , bur. 26 July, 1613, at Welford, Berks, a dau. of Rev. William Wil-
son, D.D., Canon of Windsor. William Wilson was son of William Wil-
son, **lato of Wellsbourne, Lincolnshire, gent.," who is buried in St.
George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. William, the son, was educated at
Merton College, Oxford. He was a Prebendary of St. Paul's and Roches-
ter Cathedral, and also rector of Cliffe, Kent. He was chaplain of Arch-
bishop Grindall of Canterbury, and was made Canon of Windsor in 1584.
1901.] Sheafe Family of Ouilfordy Oonn. 215
He married Isabel, daughter of John and Elizabeth Woodhall of Walden,
Essex, a niece of Bishop Grrindall. He died in 1615, and was buried next
his father at Windsor.
His eldest son was Edmund Wilson, M.D., of London, who gave the
Massachusetts Colony £1000, about 1633, for arms and ammunition.
His second son was Rev. John Wilson of the First Church, Boston.
A daughter, Margaret, married David Rawson of London, and was
mother of Edward Rawson, first Secretary of the Bay Colony.
Li the will of Dr. Edmund Wilson, we have another confirmation of the
relationship to Rev. Henry Whitfield and the Sheaf family. His will was
proved 1 1 Oct., 1 633, and in it he gives to " my cousin (niece) Whitfield
ten pounds, to Thomas Sheafe ten pounds, to cousin (nephew) Edmond
Shesife ten pounds, to cousin (nephew) Grundal Sheafe ten pounds, to
cousin (niece) Norwoo<l ten pounds, to cousin (niece) Wesley ten pounds,
to cousin (neice) Rebecca Haselrig ten pounds," * * * the overseers to be
my brothers-in-law, Thomas Sheafe, Doctor of Divinity, Mr. John Summers
and Mr. Bartholomew Edwards of Aldermanbury. (Register, xlii., p. 175.)
Rev. William Wilson, in his will proved 27 May, 1615, mentions his
godson William Sheafe when twenty-one ; and in the codicil he mentions
his son-in-law Mr. Dr. Thomas Sheafe. (Register, xxxviii., p. 306).
Thomas Sheafe was admitted to Cambridge in 1580, a Fellow of King's
College. He succeeded George Darrell as rector of Welford, Berks, Aug.,
1597 ; was also beneficed at another place in the same county ; and was
installed Dean of Wmdsor, 29 March, 1614-15. He published "A Plea
for Old Age " (London, 1639) ; and died soon after, 12 Dec, 1639, and
was buried in St. George's Chapel, Windsor.
His will was proved 2 March, 1639-40 : To son Grendall lands in Hun-
gerford and Inkpen, co. Berks. Books at house at Windsor and Wickham,
in Welford aforesaid, excepting book of Martyrs, etc., to wife. Son Grin-
dall lease of house at Newbury, and £15 to bear the charge of degree of
B.D. Son Thomas, cottage at Benenden, co. Kent. Daughter Dorothy
Whitfield blankets, etc. Seven children, Edmund, Grindall, Edward, and
daughters Whitfield, Westley, Norwood and Hesilrigge. Residue of estate
equflJly to be divided. Sons Thomas and Edmund executors.
The children of Rev. Thomas and Mary (Wilson) Sheafe were :
WiLUAM, d. young.
15. Edmund, mar. Elizabeth Cotton.
16. Thomas, d. 7 Aug., 1657.
17. Grindall, d. 28 Apr., 1680; mar. Anne Munday.
Dorothy, mar. Rev. Henry Whitfield.
A daughter, mar. Westley.
A daughter, mar. Norwood.
Rebecca, mar. Thomas Hcselrigge.
Edward.
The register of Welford gives, under the date of 30 Sept., 1614, the bap-
tism of Edward, son of Thomas Sheafe, and there is a probability of this
being a son by a second wife, as we find recorded the burial, 30 Sept.,
1614, of Anna, wife of Thomas Sheafe. This is strengthened by the fact
that Edward is mentioned in his father's will, and only the seven children
by Maria Wilson received bequests in the will of their uncle. Dr. Edmimd
Wilson, in 1 633. There is no record of this second marriage at Welford.
A branch of the Whitfield family was located at Tenterden, Kent, the first
b^ng John, a brother of Robert, the grandfather of Rev. Henry Whitfield.

Jacob Sheafe came with Rev. Henry Whitfield, Robert Kitchel and Wil-
liam Chittoiiden, relatives by marriage, and other Kent men, in 1639, and
settled at Guilford, Coim., where he was one of the pillars of the church.
Mistress Sheafe, a w^idow. was living at Roxbury in 1640, and kept fonr-
teen goats and ten kids. (Roxbury Land Records, p. 4.)
Jacob Sheafe had sold in 1643 a house and land in Roxhury, and at
about this time he marrie<l Margaret AVebb. He was represented at Guil-
ford by his attorneys in two law suits in 1G45, and in 1648 he sold his Guil-
ford property. He also owned laud in Roxbury, as shown by the Book of
Possessious. lie was a constable of Boston in 1651, and was chosen
selectman of Boston 8 March, 1657-8, and attended all the meetings to the
time of his death.
He is buried under a tabU^tomb in King's Chapel Burial Ground, on
which is inscribed: "Here lyeth interred the body of Jacob Sfaeaffe, who
sometime livetl in Cranbrooke in Kent, in OULD ENGLAND, who de-
ceased y*^ 22'i of March 1658 AE 42 years,"
His inventory amounted to £852^-8-3, evidently the bene6ts of his
nuirriage to the daughter of Henry Webb, who was very wealthy. Among
the items was one-quartiT part of three mills at Roxbury ; dwelling and
•grounds ; sugar at England and Harbadoes ; a vessel and its cargo. The
widow married, about 1665, Thomas, son of Rev. Peter Thacher, who was
Rector of St. Edmunds, Salisbury, England, from whence came Henry
Webb her father.

children, bom in Bridgewater. The wiii of John* Deane mentions his ** oldest
daughter, Sarah Howard." Josiah H. DRumiOND.
Portland, Me.
LoKBR, Danibl, Nkwton, Drapes {ante. Vol. 49, p. 841). — In this query
the statement Is made that John Loker of Sndbnry, Mass., ** in his will refers
to Bobert Daniel as his brother-in-law, and to Bobert's wife as * Sister Bridget
Daniel' ** — thus leading to the suggestion that Bobert Daniell, who died in
Cambridge, June 6, 1655, ** between the death of his wife Elizabeth (1648) and
his marriage with Beana (Andrews, 1654), married Bridget Loker,** etc.
The querist is in error as to the above names mentioned in John Loker^s will.
The name is "Davis" (spelled Dauies), not "Daniel." This fact is easily
proved from the document itself, as well as from the accompanying inventory
(mentioned by the querist) , which the supposed Bobert Daniell signed with his
mark. Now, as the querist intimates, it is singular that a man who could
write his name legibly in 1655, should sign with a hieroglyphic in 1653. The
simple truth is, he was not the man. It is also to be remembered that Bobert
DonicU spelled his name with two Ts; a fact, by the way, that few genealogists
have noticed. See the fac-slmile of his signature in Vol. 80, p. 458, of the
Begister. If further proof is needed that it was Bobert Davis who was John
Loker's " brother-in-law," one may refer to the will of Bobert Davis (July 17,
1655), in which he makes "my wif Bridget Danes and my brother Henry Lo-
ker " executors.
While I am on the subject of Bobert Daniell, I wish to venture the sugges-
tion that there was no person of that name in Sudbury in the seventeenth cen-
tury. Savage says that Bobert Daniel of Sudbury, who died there in 1662, may
have been son of the preceding (Bobert of Cambridge) or not.
Hudson (Hist, of Sudbury, p. 26) gives the name " Bobert DarnlU" among
the early settlers. On the next page, evidently referring to the same person,
he gives *'Hobcrt Daniel (Darnell)." On the map, p. 77, occurs the name
" Robert Dameil."
Bond (Gen. and Hist, of Watertown,p. 197) says of this same Bobert Daniell,
" His Will, dated, Sud., Jan. 16, 1661-2," etc. This is an error.
In the Middlesex Probate files may be found the will of Robert DarvUl,
signe<l by his mark, dated Jan. 16, 1661, probated April 1, 1662. As to the spel-
ling of this name In the will, there can be no doubt, at least as to the letter be-
fore {. It might be taken for 6, but by no possibility for n.
The case then seems clear. Darvill was mistaken for DanlU by Bond, which
perhaps led Savage Into an error ; and I think there Is no other indication of a
Bobert Daniell in Sudbury in those times. M. Grant Danirll.

ford) Eliot, of Roxbury, Mass., where he was born December 20. 1638, died at
Guilford, Conn., May 24, 1694, after serving the church there for thirty years.
His descendants have decided to establish, as his memorial, a scholarship in
Yale College, to be known as '* The Joseph Kliot Memorial Scholarship."
The scholarship is intended for academical students only, and the proposed
rules governing it will be given upon application.
Genealogies in Preparation.- Persons of the several names are advised to
furnish the compilers of these genealogies with records of their own families
and other information which they think may be useful. We would suggest that
aU facts of interest illustrating family history or character be communicated,
especially service under the U. S. Government, the holding of other offices,
gniduation from college or professional schools, occupation, with places and
dates of birth, marriage, residence and death. When there are more than ono
christian name they sliould all be given in full, if possible. No initials should
be used when the full names are known.
Beckwith.—X. C. and E. S. Beckwitii, Elkhorn, Wisconsin, will be pleased to
receive (and to give) genealogical inCormatlon relating to descendants of Mat-
thew and Elizabeth Bcckwith of Hartford and Lyme, Conn., and to allied
families.

was ])e^iin about twenty years a.L'o by the three compilers, who prosecuted their
labors indt'iKMulently, unaviare that the others were similarly enga.2:»'d ; after a
time, learning of each other's researches, they eonibiiied the results of their

The compilers have no th<*ories to exploit, anil content themselves with pre-
sentinij: facts as they have fouuil them, with occasional biographical notes.
The Uevolutlonary record is full and creditable, though there is no combined
list of soMiers. The editorial supervision was in charge of Mr. Merrill N.

This is an ably written boolc, showing the hand of a literary stylist, — a dis-
tinction which we noticed in casually turning its leaves before referring to the
author's name and discovering the numerous productions with which it is asso-
ciated. The purpose of the worli is not to furnish a complete family history,
but to show the origin of the Avesnes dc Forests in Europe and America, the
lines of descendants from the immigrant of the name, and to trace one of these
lines, — the branch of Stratford, Coun., — down as far as the middle of the last
century. The book is extremely interesting to the general reader, and must
therefore be in great favor with the De Forests who arc related to the lineage
to which the genealogy is devoted. The European sources of information
which have been explored, as indicated in the preface, are of the most authori-
tative and comprehensive nature. The concluding part of the records is ap-
portioned *o '• various de Forests, du Forests, de la Forests, and Forests, not
held related to the Forests of Avesnes." Binding, paper and illustrations are
good, and there is a full index.

The errata entered by Mr. Dodge in his copy of the family history named in
the title, together with wholly new matter, furnish the contents of this book-
let, which the author divides into three sections, viz., Corrections to bo made
in the first edition of the History; Description of tlie •' Dodge Lands " at Cow
Neck, L. I.; Reminiscences of the Old Dodge Homestead at Port Washington,
by Henry T. Dodge. Deeds and wills occupy about one-half of the pages. The
third section, particularly, has details interesting even to the general reader.

The pedigrees in this book comprise, besides the names on the title-page,
those of Makepeace, Browne, Owen, Price, Smock, Couover or Van Couwen-
hovcn, Schenck, Leggett, Mandeville, De Rle, Roos and Mott. There are,
moreover, accounts of Osberne the Seneschal and Richard Lawrence. The
■work is chierty a compilation from published records, although the compiler is
able, in some instances, to correct the statements of the authorities consulted;
as, for example, in the case of the Leggetts in Bolton's History of West Ches-
ter County. A communication from the author informs us that the Schenck
arms, as given on page 71, are incorrect; the correct arms are those which face
that page. The index is subject to criticism, as the names under the letters of
the alphabet are not themselves arranged alphabetically, but according to the
pages on which they occur.

Bvo, pp. 455.
This is an ezcellent book, prepared by a man who has travelled widely, and
read mncb. Colonel Hodge knows, the worth of original records and uses them,
bnt he appreciates the influence of broad sympathies, a knowledge of history
and of romance in writing a genealogy. The book, therefore, is readable as
well as instmctive. It treats of the d^cendants of John Hodge of Connecticnt,
and less in detail of many other families of the same snmame. There are also
chapters on the allied families of Denslow, Weller, AUls, Foot, Chnrchlll,
Treat, Hnrlbut, White, English, Newcomb, Canlkins, Dewey and Shedd.
The arrangement of the material and the printing are very satisfactory, and
an nnasnally good index makes the volume useful for reference. There are
several illustrations, including portraits and a picture of the first steamboat on

This is described by its author as an abstract of Alexander Mackenzie's
" History of the Mnnros," published in 1898 at Inverness, Scotland, for which
Mr. Munro famished the American genealogical portion, and which, judging
from this epitome, must be of a romantic interest, surpassing that of the ordi-
nary fiction. The fertile posterity of the thirteen children of the old Munro
loyalist has occasioned great labor to the compiler of its records, although re-
stricted almost entirely to the direct male descendants. The " Letter " is very
cleverly composed, and, althongh a fabrication, is of a historical contexture
nearly throughout, based on documentary and traditional authorities. The
book is beautifully printed.
Some of John PearVs Descendants, by Alicb Heath (Fairbanks) Dow. Printed
by William C. Heath, Detroit, Mich. 8vo. pp. 33. 111.
In this finely printed volume are found descendants in seven generations of
the son of Widow Alice Pearle of Beverly Park, Yorkshire, Eng., he having
come to America before 1671 and settled first at Marblehead and then at Brad-
ford. A deficiency noticeable in a work of this nature is the absence of an in-
dex, however much such want is diminished by the fewness of the pages to be
examined.

and Representative between the years 1682 and 1692. In this pamphlet Mr. Lea
has furnished evidence unquestionable of Front's English ancestry. The proof
adduced is from wills, parish registers and other sources. The name of his
birthplace, Bideford, in Devon, was bestowed, — probably by his grandson, who
removed to Saco, Maine, — on the town of Biddeford, in its immediate vicinity.
Book IL of the Family of John Stone, one of the First Settlers of Guilford^ Conn.

By Truman Lewis Stonk. 1639-1897. Buffalo, N. Y. : Charles Wells Monl-
ton. 1898. 8vo. pp. 339. III.
This volume is much larger than the number of pages would indicate, as one
side of every leaf is left blank for memoranda. The designation " Book II.'* is
derived from the fact that its author considers it a successor to Col. William
L. Stone's ** Genealogy of the Stone Family," to which it bears a likeness in
size of type and page. The early history of Guilford occupies the first chap-
ters, which Is supplemented by a portion of a historical sermon by Rev. Cor-
nelius H. Kitchell. Beginning with the second chapter, the genealogy is traced
from Rev. Samuel Stone of Hereford, England, through eleven generations,
whose members passed tbeir days in such enviable tranquillity as to cause the
compiler to remark that *' a life of peace and prosperity furnishes but little
matter for a chronicle. Such, with few exceptions, have been the lives of our
family." There is a good index.
A Tinker Family. The Ancestors and Descendants of Joseph Wescott Tinker^

8vo. pp. 36. 111.
Thomas Tinker, Mayflower passenger, his wife and child having died in the
llrst sickness that attacked the Pilgrims, the Tinkers are precluded from claim-
ing Mayflower descent, while the grounds for any conjectured relationship to
the Pilgrim Tinker are shown in the Introductory notes by Rev. William Du-
rant, relating to John Tinker of Boston. From him descended, in the sixth
generation, Joseph Wescott Tinker, whose descendants In three generations
are recorded. The usefulness of this careful compilation will be yet greater if,
as suggested, changes, corrections and additions are forwarded to Rev. William
Durant, Saratoga, N. Y., who is preparing a genealogy of the whole Tinker
family in America.
Official Report of the Fifth Gtneral American TyUr Family Gathering, held at
Odd Fellows* Temple, Philadelphia, Fa., Wednesday, September 12, 1900. By
WiLLARD J. Tyler Biuquam. 8vo. pp. 38. III. Edition limited. Price,
76 cents.
A steel portrait of Governor J. Iloge Tyler of Virginia first attracts notice
in opening this pamphlet, the contents of which consist of an account of the
morning and dinner session of the Gathering, an article on " Original English
Tyler Researches," Resolutions and Obituaries, Letters of Regret, Toasts, orl-
g:lnal Tyler Hymn, and** A Greetin' frum Ole Ferglnny." This last is in the
raciest Negro gabble, evincing, indeed, a positive genius in dialect; and, while
expressing the delicious complacency of the black servant in the family of his
master, turns a compliment to the Tylers in such lines as these: —
*• Knowed *em all Tum fust to las*,
Knowed they all 'us jes' fust class —
Pes'dents, gubnors, big-bugs gin'ly.

The opening page of this pamphlet notices the posterity of William deHert-
bnm, who, on exchanging the village of Hertburn for the manor and village of
Wessyngton, assumed the surname of De Wessyngton, afterwards Weshington.
From John Washington, however, as the first of the ancestors of George Wash-
iDgton, of the surname, the descent of the Father of his Country is lineally traced.

A Comprehensive JfelAod of Arrangement for Oenedloffical Becorde. By Frank
W. Haskell.
Every student of genealogy has his own pet scheme for arranging and classi-
fying the branches and indirldnals of a family, with the resnlt that we have
now nearly as many systems as there are published geneal(>gies, most of which
can be promptly condemned as either no better than others generally recog-
nized as the best methods, or as worthless because difflcnlt for the average lay-
man or even student to understand.
This Society is now seeking to find a method of genealogical nomenclature
which it can recommend to coait»ilers and publishers for universal adoption,
and welcomes every attempt to solve the difBcnlties in the way. Whatever
system may be adopted must be adapted to use in any family and to female aa
well as to male lines ; mast not exceed the capacity of the average book printer's
fonts ; and, above all, must be simple and easily comprehended by the average
user of genealogical works.
Mr. Haskell shows a commendable desire to find something better than the
best; but his proposed method is not only not original, but is not applicable to
a family in which it is desired to follow up female lines, and probably most
families will have male lines which will exceed its capacity. The system pro-
posed is simply the numeral decimal system, which has the merit of being ex-
pansive and determinate, but has also the fatal fault of being limiteil by the
number of digits in nine lines; or, if we include zero, to ten, since it is impos-
sible to use the double numbers in the decimal system. Mr. Haskell tries to
avoid this difficulty by applying it only to males, and in cases of more than ten
male children in a family, says that ** arbitrary signs should be used for 11, 12,
etc.,** with the naive remark, •♦ reference to a table would of course be neces-
tsary to asccrtaiD the significance of these signs.*' Wc need go no further ; the
s.vfctcm is condemned out of his own mouth. If it docs not carry its own
explanation, no system is worthy of a moment's consideration. We would sug-
gest to Mr. Haskell, and to all who would like to use an expansive method of
nomenclature, a study of the letter decimal system, which will be found fully
set forth in the Keqistek, Vol. 61, p. 305, and exomplifled in the •* Upton Fam-
ily Record.'* It has all the merits of the numeral system, without its faults.
Mr. HaskelFs sngirestion as to a comprclicnslvc ludex, given on one page of his
monograph, would have been better if he had recognized the fact that the best
indexers and publishers now use but one index for all proper names of persons.
To divide such names into three or more indexes is a bad custom which it is
hoped will soon be obsolete. The system of numeration suggested in the sec-
(;nd part of this monograph for designating ancestry docs not seem to have any
very practical use. Waldo Lincoln.

This is designed as a more elementary w*ork than Mr. Phillimore*s very use-
ful genealogical handbook, •* How to Write the History of a Family," a ** Sup-
plement '* to which appeared in 1896. The two editions of the llrst work are
out of print, although the second edition of the ** Supplement** can still be ob-
tained. As, according to the statement in the ** Introduction,** four times as
many genealogies are published at the present day than four years ago, the ap-
pearance of this well-stocked manual of instructions is very opportune. Under
the headings, ** Systems of Genealogy,** ** Printing and Illustrating the Family
History,** •* The Surname,** ** Anthropometry and Ethnography," ** Sources of
Information,** "Borough Records,** ** Public Libraries," "Scottish and Irish
Genealogy,** and " Chronology,** is compacted a mass of genealogical counsel,
which those who know the author's fitness to give it, will be sure to appro-
priate. Many will be grateful for the new tabulation of the ** regnal years,** as
often in legal transactions the time is reckoned by the year of the sovereign's
reign. The booklet is, by its form, a model of convenience, equally accommo-
dated to hand and pocket.

This pamphlet contains an instructive narration of a portion of the history of
the New-England shilling, involving the discussion of the relation of *' Lawful

in 1697, and *' Proclamation Money," a designation based on a proclamation by
Queen Anne In 1704, regulating the values of certain foreign coins current in

It is certainly very significant of the present-day Americanism that, writing
this notice on the birthday of him who, in hia Farewell x\ddress to his country-
men, warns them •* not to forego the advantages of their peculiar sitnation, or
quit their own to stand on foreign ground," we should find a good man, a pat-
riot, one whose learning and eloquence are justly recognized by tlie Society
honored by his address, making use of such language as this : '• For one, I am
glad that we have been swept Into a position which compels us to play a definite
part in the commonwealth of nations." Certainly a greater contrariety of sen-
timent could never be encountered, and It Is to be feared that the result of ignor-
ing the counsels of Washington will be that which be apprehended would ensue
in spite of his admonition, viz., that we also *' would run the course which
has hitherto marked the destiny of nations."

Charles A. Hanna. New York: Privately printed. 1900. 4to. pp. 686.
III. Map.
Persons and events in Harrison County distinguishing the first thirty years
of the nineteenth century are the principal theme of this volume; and, though
the period described is short, it is by no means the least interesting portion of
the history of the county. While the adventures of the pioneers, constituting
the first part of the work, are of the exciting nature inferable from such a
paragraph as this : ** Fist fights were of very frequent occurrence, and public
fatheriogs of all kinds usually ended with a fight between one or more pairs of
ghters ; " it is the second part of the book which will be the most attractive
to those who estimate a production by its utility, as it contains the land patents
of the County, records of marriages and burials, fifty pages of abstracts of
wills, and more than a handred pages of gonealogies. The Scotch-Irish, New-
England, Quaker and German components of the County's popalatlon have af-
forded abundant and varied materials for the historical collector and the vital
statistician. Mr. Hanna's incorporation of these materials, in a well-indexed
volume, has supplied a desideratum of which everyone was sensible who at-
tempted to explore the past of Harrison County.

a vivacious manner, treated of those elements of the American people, the
Scotch-Irish, etc., which received notice in the publication jnst mentioned, and
which constitute the population of the Upper Ohio Valley. More than three
hundred surnames are found in the genealogies, one or more branches of each
family being given. These genealogies are reprinted from the above-named
Collections.

stracts of wills and other documents supplying evidence for the genealogies.
The sources enumerated In the preface evince the extreme pains of the compiler
to ensure accuracy and thoroughness. This closing part contains, besides pedi-

grees and wills, corrigenda and addenda, indexes and the preface above men-
tioned. Then ten parts have been issaed in volumes of about the same number
of pages as this has, admirably printed, and in every way indicating the enthu-
siasm, ability and toil of an experienced genealogist.

In Memoriam. Jonas Oilman Clark, Born February 1^ 1815; died May 23 1
1900. [New York. 1900.] pp. 48.
This sumptuous volume is a collection by the wife of the subject, Mrs. Susan
Wright Clark, of tributes to the memory of her husband, and contains, besides
the biographical sketch with which it opens, an obituary, an address by the Rev.
Calvin Stebbins, resolutions of the faculty and students of Clark University, of
which the deceased was the founder, and tributes from the Worcester papers
and Dr. Hall, the University President. Besides deserving a memorial for his
many virtues, Mr. Clark richly merited such a memento as this, since by es-
tablishing an institution of learning, he has enrolled himself among those Vho
have assisted in the propaganda of the eternal religion whose elements are
Light, Love and Purity.
Diary of Samuel Cooper, 1775-1776, Reprinted from the American Historical
Review, Vol. vi. No. 2. Jan., 1901. 4to. pp. 301-341. .
This diary might not be inaptly described as the account of the perambula-
tions of a horse and chaise, as in nearly every entry they are carefully men-
tioned, usually in the abbreviation ** my H. and ch." The man who accom-
panied them was a notal^e one in his day, pastor of the Brattle Street Church,
Boston, chaplain to the General Court, one of the founders and afterwards
vice-president of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was men-
tioned by John Adams as one of the seven who were most distinguished by
their patriotic eflforts in the six years following 1760. The diary begins April
19, 1775, and continues until May 17 of the next year. While the majority <^
the entries are of a commonplace nature, the journal is, nevertheless, one more
of the always useful illustrations of the daily life of a distinguished man of the
American Revolution.
PhUip Vickers Fithian, Journal and Letters, 1767-1774. Student at Princeton
College, 1770-*72, Tutor at Nomini Hall in Virginia, 1773-74, Edited
for the Princeton Historical Association by John Roger Williams. Prince-
ton, N. J. : The University Library. 1900. L. 8vo. pp. 320. 111.
Philip Vickers Fithian, bom in 1747, enlisted as chaplain in the New Jersey
militia 1776, served under Washington in the battles of Long Island and Har-
lem Heights, and died of a camp epidemic in October of the same year. From
a mass of manuscript containing Fithian's diary, letter-books, etc., have been
selected such materials as are of historical import, or particularly illustrate his
own character and environments. His pictures of Virginian life of the period
are very entertaining, but, nevertheless, of a depressing eflfect on one who re-
gards existence as something more than the pursuit of pleasure. The journal
in Virginia and letters from there will probably be more generally attractive
than the letters under the heading *'Princetoniana," although these latter are
most delightfully descriptive of the life and customs of college in those days.
The book is beautifully printed and thoroughly indexed.

ous, including portraits of all the pastors of the church.

Published by the Society. 1900. L. 8vo. pp. 20<5. 111.
This Is an absorbingly interesting volume, as befits the memorial of a church
that has numbered among its pastors spirits so masterful and yet so diver-
gent as the Mathers and Ralph Waldo Emerson, antipodal in theological
belief bnt alike in l*urltanlc sentiment. The ** Introductory Note." summariz-
ing the history of the church and recounting somewhat in detail Its musical
education, precedes a varied body of contents, consisting of sermons and ad-
dresses on the many topics suggested by the work and influence of the Second
Churcli, togtaher with psalms and anthems from the Psalter and hymn books of
the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The section allotted to the Second
Church Branch of the Women's Alliance has very instructive articles on the
achievements of the women of the United States in literature, education, phi-
lanthropy and theology, thus detailing labors not directly inspired by the Second
Church, It Is true, but In unison with its progressive spirit.

sidered satisfactory, they have not been repeated here, only such records being
furnished in this issue as pertain to members who have been admitted to the

be made of town clerks, judges of probate, pastors and clerks of churches,
with reports on the town, probate and church records, finishing with recom-
mendations. The assistance derived from the procedure of lion. Robert T.

in the lumbering trade.

thor of the History of the Maine State

David Cobb and Family, publisher for
about ten years of the Bangor Histori-
cal Magazine, he did not cease to con-
tribute, almost to the day of his death,
weekly articles to the Bangor Saturday

on local history appeared in its issue
of February 2, 1901, and was the 208th

He was a member of the Masonic

the Old Colony Historical Societies.
We have not exhausted the list of his
writings or his memberships, but space
is wanting to record them all.
Best of all, Mr. Porter's heart was
yoting. It was a touching sight to see,
as an honored part of the funeral cor-
tege, four little boys, neighbors of his,
over whose sports he had daily watched
with unwearied interest, and who had
been always glad to leave their play at
any time to walk with the friend who
loved them so much. •• My nice boys,"
he would often say, "they will grow

REV. HENRY ALLEN HAZEN, A.M., D.D.
Bj Rbv. Ezra Hott Btinoton, D.D., of Newton, Mass.
Henrt ALI.EN Hazen was born in Hartford, Vermont, December
27, 1832, and he died near his birthplace, August 4, 1900. He. was
descended on both sides from families tliat came to New England
with the first generation of its settlers, and have furnished their fv3l
share of excellent citizens, — farmers, merchants, military leaders,
men of science and of political wisdom, physicians and clergymen.
His father was Allen Hazen, who was of the sixth generation from
his emigrant ancestor. He was born in Hartford, Vermont, August
6, 1795. fie was a student in Dartmouth College, in the class of
1817, for two years, but left without completing the course, oil
aooount of the weakness of liis eyes, and engaged in teaching in
Wheelingf West Virginia. He afterwards went to New Orleans
and was connected with the Custom House in that city. He returned
to Hftrtford after a few years, and spent the larger part of his life on
the fiinn of ^hich his grandfather, Tliomas Hazen, was the first
owner. He was a man of integrity and intelligence, and of literary
taiteS) aa well as of high Christian character. He was elected to re-
preaent the town in the Legislature of Vermont in 1845, 1846 and
1849, and he filled a number of other important positions in the town.
T&e Puritan ancestor of the Hazen family in this country was
Edward' Hazen, who settled in Rowley, Massachusetts, about the
year 1648. He seems to have been a man of influence and wealth
for those times. His son Thomas* was born February 29, 1657-8,
and inherited a double portion of his father's estate. He removed
to Topsficld, and later to Boxford, and in 1711 to Norwich, Con-
necticut, where he died in 1735. He was a member of the church,
and a freeman. Ilis son, Thomas,* born in Topsficld in 1690, died
in Norwich in 1776-7, leaving seven children, all bom in Norwich.
His son, Thomas,* born September 30, 1719, removed to Wood-
bury, Connecticut, where he owned a large tract of land. In 1774
he removed to Hartford, Vermont, where the most of his sixteen

children married and settled. He was among the pioneers in that
new country, and was the owner of a thousand acres in the north
part of Hartford. In 1775 he built the first two-story house in that
town, near the Connecticut river. This house is still occupied by his
descendants. There is a tradition in the family that while this house
was building the workmen heard the firing at the battle of Bunker
Hill, which was then in progress. (See note at the end.)
His son, Asa/ who was bom in Connecticut in 1749, spent his life
on this farm. He had ten children. His third child was Austin,
who graduated at Dartmouth College in 1807, became a minister,
pastor for many years in Hartford, and later in Berlin, Vermont. He
was the father of Rev. Allen Hazen, who spent the larger part of
his life in India, a very useful missionary of the American Board.
Sophia, a daughter of Rev. Austin Hazen, married Rev. David T.
Stoddard and went to Persia as a missionary. Three of the younger
sons of Rev. Austin Hazen — Austin, William Skinner and Azel
Washburn — are also ministers. Four of the sons of the younger
Rev. Austin Hazen are already in the ministry, and one of them is
a foreign missionary. The well known General William B. Hazen,
bom in Hartford, Vt., in 1830, and the late Professor Henry Allen
Hazen of Washington, were among the descendants of Asa Hazen.
Another son of Asa Hazen was Allen Hazen,' the father of Rev.
Henry Allen Hazen, of whom we write.
On the maternal side, the record of Dr. Hazen is equally interest-
ing. Hitj mother was Hannah Putnam Dana, daughter of Hon.
Israel Putnam Dana of PoniiVet, ^'orm(>nt. She was born March 6,
1804, and married Febmary 15, 1832. She was of the seventh
generation from her Puritan ancestor, Richard Dana, who came
from England about tlie year 1640, and settled in Cambridge. The
descendants of Richard Dana in this country have been very numer-
ous, and every generation has furnished some illustrious men. Mrs.
Hazen was also connected with the Putnam family by the marriage
of her grandfather, John Winchester Dana, with Hannah Putnam,
the eldest daughter of General Israel Putnam, so distinguished
during the Revolutionary war.
She was carefully educated in the best schools of New England.
She lived for nearly half a century in the old family mansion in
Hartford, where her three children were born. One who knew her
well has written of her : " Though far from the bustle of life, her
hands and brain always found some duty waiting, some work to be
done. Her household cares, the rearing of her children, the thousand
phases of a mother's work, would seem enough to exhaust the energy
of a delicate woman. Yet her home and heart were always open to
her friends. Their joys and sorrows were hers, and drew from her
words and deeds of the warmest sympathy and encouragement.
Bright, ardent and frank, she will ever stand apart in the memory of
her friends. Here grew up tlie three children, who survive her, and
1901.] Henry Allen Hazen. 243
here, in the afternoon of her life, they and their children often
gathered."
The earlier years of Dr. Hazen were spent in this home, among the
charming scenes of the upper valley of Connecticut river. He was
brought up after the older New England way, in habits of industry
and frugality. The family went regularly to the old church of the
town, where he was baptized. They went later to the village
church, where, in due time, he was received as a communicant.
Dartmouth College was only a few miles away, where a number of
his kindred had been graduated. He was prepared for college at
Danville, Vermont, and at Kimball Union Academy, New Hamp-
shire ; and entered Dartmouth in 1850, at the age of eighteen. He
used to walk from his home, two miles away, every day. He is re-
membered by his classmates as an accurate and successful scholar,
especially in the classical languages. He ranked in the first third of
the class.
He was graduated in 1854, and went directly to the Theological
Seminary at Andover. His class numbered more than thirty, and
he was from the first one of the leading men. He was an all-round
man, very genial and hearty in his ways, with unusual power of
acquiring knowledge. At Andover he was graduated with his class
in 1857, and he carried out a plan formed years before by offering
himself to the American Board for missionary service abroad. A
weakness of the eyes, from which he had suffered while in college as
well as in the Seminary, prevented him from going at once, and while
he was waiting, he entered upon Home Missionary work in his native
state. He preached in 1857 and 1858 in Barnard and Bridgewater.
He was ordained as an Evangelist at St. Johnsbury, February 17,
1858. He preached at Hardwick, Vermont, in 1858-59, at Barton
in 1859-60, and at West Randolph in 1861-62, without taking a
permanent pastoral charge. At length it seemed necessary to give
up the plan of going abroad, and he accepted a call from the church
in Plymouth, Mew Hampshire, and was installed as pastor January
21, 1863. He had a useful ministry at that place, of about six
years, during which time he became well known in the state. He was
dismissed July 15, 1868 ; and was installed at Lyme, N. H., Sept.
2, 1868, where he remained about two years. His third pastorate
was at Pittsfield, where he was installed December 3, 1870, and
where he was dismissed November 30, 1872. His last pastorate was
at Billerica, Massachusetts, where he was installed May 2, 1874, and
dismissed May 4, 1879. After twenty-two years of service in the
active ministry, he retired from pastoral work and purchased a house
in Auburndale, Massachusetts, which wae his home during the last
twenty years of his life. He continued to preach, as he was called
upon from time to time, by churches which were without pastors, but
he gave the larger part of his time to historical investigations, and to
the general work of the Congregational churches.
244 Henry Allen Hdzen. [July,
He had been a trufitee of Elimball Union Academy from the year
18C9, and of the Howe School, Billerica, from 1875. He had
served as Statistical Secretary of the New Hampshire General As-
sociation from 1872 to 1874, and had prepared the Minutes for the
press. He was Associate Editor of the Congregational Quar^
terly from 1876 to 1878. During that time he published in the
Quarterly two elaborate articles on the ^Ministry and Churches of
New Hampshire," which were republislied in a volume in 1875.
He also published an important pamphlet, in 1878, entitled "The
Pastors of New Hampshire." In 1877, while he was pastor at
Billerica, he was chosen by the town a member of a committee to
prepare a History of Billerica. Almost all the work devolved upon
Dr. Hazen, and he gave to it much of his time for about five years.
The history was published by him in 1882. It is a volume of 509
pages, and is one of the fullest and most accurate town histories
tliat have been published. It gave its author a wide reputation a8
a diligent and successful historical writer.
In September, 1875, while residing at Billerica, Dr. Hazcn was
elected a member of the New-England Historic Genealogical So-
ciety, and for twenty-five years he has been a regular attendant at
its stated meetings, and has contributed very much to their interest
and value. He was for eleven years a member of the Committee on
Memorials, and he had an important part in preparing the five large
memorial volumes for the press. He was a member of the Com-
mittee on Papers and Essays from 1881 to 1888. He was Chair-
man of the Committee on the Library from 1893 to 1896. He
served for one year as Corresponding Secretary, two years as a
Director, and four years as a member of the Council. He was
called frequently to preside at the stated meetings of the Society, in
the absence of the President. Besides filling these ofiScial positions,
Dr. Ilazen contributed to the growth and usefulness of the Society
by his active and intelligent interest in all departments of its work.
He had also been for many years a member of the Vermont His-
torical Society, and of the Historical Society of New Hampshire.
In 1892 he delivered the Annual Address before the New Hamp-
shire Ilistoricfil Society, entitled " New Hampshire and Vermont ;
an Historical Study." This address was published by the Society.
He was Secretary of the Alumni Association of Andover Theologi-
cal Seminary for ten years from 1880, and he prepared its annual
Necrology with great care. He also prepared for the Seminary its
General Catalogue in 1880.
But the services by which Dr. Hazen became most widely known
in this country and beyond the sea, were those which he rendered to
the churches of his denomination after he had retired from the pas-
toral office. He began tliis work in 1880, as a clerk in the office
of the American Board of Foreign Missions. This position he held
for about three years. In 1883 he was elected Secretary of the
1901.] Henry Allen Hazen. 245
National Council of the Congregational Churches of the United
States. He was the successor of Dr. Alonzo H. Quint, who had
kept the statistics of the churches with rare genius and accuracy for
the greater part of a generation. It was a distinguished honor to
be chosen to take the place of such a man ; and the Council which
selected Dr. Hazen for tliis work recognized, at the same time, the
services of Dr. Quint in a vote of thanks.
The office of Secretary carried with it the editorship of the Min-
utes of the National Council, and also the preparation of the Year
Book. Dr. Hazen was elected to this office six times, each time for
a period of three years. He prepared for the press five volumes of
the Minutes of the Council, and seventeen volumes of the Year
Book, — twenty-two volumes in all. These volumes were sent
to every Congregational minister from Maine to Oregon; and
also to the Clerk of every Congregational church in the land. They
are the materials of history, and are constantly referred to here and
in England as the most reliable sources of information relating to the
Congregational Churches of America.
In addition to his work for the National Council, Dr. Hazen
served as Secretary of the Massachusetts General Association from
1888, for twelve years. This involved the preparation of the Min-
utes of that body each year for publication.
He had much to do in preparing the way for the First Interna-
tional Council, which met in London in 1891. He was chosen one
of the Secretaries of that body, and he had an important part in its
proceedings. An address which he gave at a lawn party in London
is well remembered. President Northrop said that it was one of the
best delivered during the sessions of the Council.
Dr. Hazen had also a very important part in the Second Interna-
tional Council, which met in Boston in September, 1899. He was
a member of the Committee of Arrangements, — a member also of
the Program Committee, and of the Publishing Committee. He
was elected Secretary of the Council, and on the first day of the ses-
sion he read a report as Secretary of the American Council, which
gave the official statement of the action by which the International
Council had been convened in Boston. He was called upon from
time to time, during the session of ten days, to render important ser-
vices to that body. After the adjournment of the Council, he had a
great deal to do in preparing the Volume of Proceedings for the
press, and he had great satisfaction not only in the results of the
Council but in the manner in which its volume of Proceedings was
received.
Dr. Hazen prepared the Year Book as usual in the early part of
the year following, and sent it to the churches over the country.
He also prepared the Minutes of the General Association of Massa-
chusetts for the press, and sent them out to the churches. This was
hid last work.
246 Henry Allen Hcizen. [cTuly,
He had been in excellent health all Rummer, and when he paid his
last visit to the Congregational House, several of his fellow workers
congratulated him on his vigorous appearance. He seemed in more
than his usual good spirits in view of the four weeks' vacation which
he purposed to spend with his &mily friends at the old home in
Hartford, Vennont. He went to Hartford on Friday, August 3,
with Mrs. Hazcn. The next day they went on a picnic to Fairlee,
a town near by, and spent the day by the lake. After an enjoyable
day, in which he exhibited much animation and physical vigor, the
family party returned by rail to Norwich, and thence by carriage to
the homestead. Dr. Hazen preferred to walk the mile or two while
the others rode. It was on this walk, and when very near his desti-
nation, that he fell, with his hat in his hand ; his mortal life appar-
ently ending instantly. His death, like that of some of his relatives
of an older generation, was by apoplexy. It was just as he would
have had it. Only a few days before, he had said to a friend, "I
have ceased to pray ' From sudden death, good Lord, deliver us.* I
hope that my end, whenever it may come, may be sudden."
The funeral was attended at the old home in Hartford, on Tues-
day. Rev. Calvin Cutler, the pastor emeritus of the church at
Auburndale, was present as a representative of the church. Prof.
Adams of Dartmouth College, and Rev. Henry A. Stimson, D.D.,
of New York, also took part in the services. The burial was in
the family lot in Hartford.
Dr. Hazen married, July 9, 1863, Charlotte Eloise, daughter of
Dr. Geor<!:e Barrett Green, of Windsor, Vermont. She was the
mother of his three children : Mary, bom Nov. 23, 1864, died Sept.
30, 1865 ; Emily, born Aug. 5, 1866, and graduated at Smith Col-
lege, 1889 ; and Charlotte, born Nov. 6, 1868, and graduated at the
Po86e Gymnasium in Boston, 1894. Mrs. Hazen died Feb. 8, 1881.
In 1889, August 31, he married Martha Bethia, daughter of
George Warren Heath of Boston, who survives him. Mrs. Hazen
accompanied her husband to Europe at the time of the First Inter-
national Council in London. At that time they made an extended
trip on the Continent.
In 1891 he received the honorary degree of D.D. from Marietta
College, Ohio.
The titles of various volumes and pamphlets of which he was the
author have been already given in this paper. Besides these, he
published, in 1865, The Historical Manual of the Congregational
Church in Plymouth, New Hampshire ; and in 1875, A Centennial
Historical Discourse at the same church. He was the author, in
connection with his classmate. Rev. S. Lewis B. Speare, of the
History of his College Class, published in 1898. He also pub-
lished a number of articles in various periodicals and newspapers.
The home of Dr. Hazen at Auburndale was a very attractive
one, and he welcomed his old friends with great pleasure. There

his classmates and historical co-workers used to go to freshen the
associations of other days. Very few ministers had so wide an
acquaintance as he among the leading Congregationalists of this
country. Dr. William E. Barton of Chicago, who spent the last
Sabbath but one with Dr. Hazen, has written a very interesting
narrative of his home life, — of his conversations concerning the
eminent men he had known, — and concerning his plans for the
future. He was a public-spirited citizen, and had been for many
years a leader in the Village Improvement Society of Auburndale.
He was a useful member of the church in that place, and his de-
parture was mourned by its pastor and by the people.
Since he was taken away, various testimonials have come to his
family of the esteem and love of his friends. Among the earliest of
these was a vote passed by the citizens of Billerica, in town meeting,
expressing their sorrow at the death of the historian of Billerica,
well known as a citizen of that town ; and sending to his family the
assurance of their sympathy in their great loss. The people loved
the man, the friend, the pastor, and they mourned his departure.
Letters of sympathy have come from the people of other congre-
gations to which he had ministered. Such letters have been received
jfrom his friends in different parts of this country and from Great
Britain.
The Provisional Committee of the National Council adopted the
following Memorial :
"Since 1883, when Dr. Hazen was elected Secretary of the
National Council, succeeding the late Dr. Alonzo H. Quint, he has
been the official representative of the denomination best known to
the world. He was fitted for the place, and he loved the work.
His ancestry, his birth and education in New England, his wide
acquaintance, extending over many years, with the leaders of this
denomination, his deep and abiding faith in the principles of Con-
gregationalism, joined with an earnest desire that those principles
should prevail, made him a power for good in his place. His genial
manner, his unruffled calmness, his kindly interest in men, won for
him hosts of friends, and caused him to be sought very often as an
adviser."
Rev. Frederick A. Noble, D.D., the Moderator of the National
Council, writes of him: '*He was one of our indispensable men.
He had a clear and well-balanced mind. He was severely trained
in all his faculties and tastes. He was full of faith, and devoted
every energy to his work. He was patience itself. His kindness
amounted to genius. He was a rare, choice spirit, frank as a child,
open as the day, and to know him was to love him. It is a delight
to me to think how much Dr. Hazen had in his closing years to
rejoice in. He was permitted to see the great International Council
fulfil his most sanguine expectations, and to see the record of that
splendid historic gathering put in print and sent abroad. Above
248 Henry Allen Hazen. \j^^Yf
all, it was his felicity to know that the work to which he had
devoted so raany of the best years of his life had been carried to
•uch a consummation that other hands could take it up and continue
it in the years of the new century. **
The New-England Historic Genealogical Society adopted an
extended minute, setting forth in detail the services which Dr.
Hazcn had rendered to that Society, and recognizing the important
contributions he had made to the history of New England.
Note {ante, page 242). — It may be interesting to read some of the tra-
ditions that have come down in regard to the places where the sound of the
Battle of Bunker Hill was heard.
Col. All)ert H. Iloyt, formerly Editor of the Register, writes : —
** lu reply to your inquiry of the 26th inst., I would say that on ray visits
to my maternal p^randfather, Thomas Freeman, at Barnard, Vt., In my boyhood
days, I repeatedly heard him state that he and his elder brother, and their fa-
ther, and likewise their hired men, heard distant cannonadin«: on the 17th of
June, 1775. They first heard the sounds when they were lying upon the ground
and in the act of drinking from a spring of water.
The Frceraans, with the Newtons, and others, were among the very first set-
tlers in Barnard, having removed thither from the * Plymouth Colony * country
in March, 1776.
I had no direct confirmation of this statement, by my grandfather, until,
some time in the 70's, I met a gentleman wlio then had in his custody the MS-
diary of the elder Prcsi<lent Wheolock of Dartmouth College. In his diary,
under dale of Juno 17, President Wlieelock records, in substance, that on tke
day named he heard distant cannonading, and greatly wondered as to the cause-
A week, or more, after the 17tli, he recorded the fact that he had then learned
through messengers, or travellers, that the battle on Breed's Hill and Bunker's
Hill occurred on the 17th. I liave been informed that the gentleman who
showed me the diary is dead, and I do not know where said diary now is.
Hanover is about 545 feet above sea-level, and is distant from Boston about
114 miles. The town of Barnard, which is about 145 miles from Boston, is in a
north-westerly direction from Hanover, and the height of the Freeman lauds
above the sea-level is not less than 1150 feet.
It is not at all incredible, it seems to me, that in certain states of the atmos-
phere, with the wind favorable, the repeated booming of heavy guns should
be heard on wooded heights, even as distant as Barnard is from Charlestown,
especially if one were lying on the ground."
Rev. Joshua W. Wellman, D.I)., of Maiden, Mass., writes as follows: —
** In response to your request that I would give my authority for the state-
ment made by me last Monday, to the eflect that men in Cornish, N.IL, heard
the booming of the cannon llred at the Battle of Bunker Hill, I would say that
in a letter dated ' Cornish, X. H., Feb. 12, 1821,* written by my great uncle, Col.
James Ripley, of Coniish, and addressed to his eldest sister, Mrs. Faith (Ripley)
Spicer, then residing at Richmond, Vt., he says, speaking of the journey of
the family from Connecticut to Cornish : ' We arrived at Cornish on the 14th of
June (1775). On the 17th the sound of cannon fired at Banker Hill thundered
through our woods.* Such is my authority. Col. Ripley was a man of strict
veracity, and never given to hasty or incautious statements. He was a leading
man in the town, and famous in all that region. Strange as it may seem, it was
the testimony of several Cornish men that, from the summit of Cornish hills,
they heard distinctly on that 17th of June what they aftencards were compelled
to believe was the (iVing of the cannon at Bunker Hill. This story of Cornisli
men hearing the firing of cannon at Bunker Hill, I used to hear told when I was
a boy in Coniish. I believe it to be true. Cornish men are not liars."

MARRIAGES RECORDED BY THE MINISTERS OF THE
FIRST CHURCH IN NEEDHAM, MASSACHUSETTS.
1738-1811.
Communicated by Oeorgb Kuhn Clabkb, LL.B.
As this record of marriages is more complete for the years 1738-98 than
that kept by the town clerks of Needham, and as the Church book is not
readily accessible to the public, it seems desirable to print this portion of its
contents, and also the marriages contained in the same volume from 1799 to
1811, for purposes of comparison with those in the town records. From the
fact that the Rev. Jonathan Townsend, A.M., called the record of mar-
riages beginning in 1738 a " Continuation," we may infer that he had a
private book, now unfortunately lost, which contained the marriages of
earlier date, presumably from his ordination in 1720.
There are also about seventy marriages recorded in the town records
prior to 1738, and from 1738 to 1798 some twenty that were performed by
local magistrates.
There is, however, a period from 1792 to 1798, when the town records are
quite incomplete as to marriages, and we have to rely upon the Church
book. From 1762 to 1764, and from 1788 to 1792, the pulpit of the First
Church was vacant, and the record was interrupted. In 1798 the Rev.
Charles Noyes, A.M., became the first minister of the West Church in
Needham, and from that year to 1811 he officiated at forty-six marriages,
most, or all, of which are recorded in the town records, together with others
at which the minister of the First Church, Rev. Stephen Palmer, A.M.,
did not officiate. It is my purpose to offer for a later number of the Regis-
ter the marriages found in the town records prior to 1798, and not in the
Church records, viz : 1720 to 1738 (none were apparently recorded prior to
1720, although the town was incorporated in 1711), and those performed
by local magistrates and out of town ministers. This plan will include
1901.] Marriages in First Church of Needham. 259
all marriages recorded in Needham from 1720 to 1798, but not those returned
under the law of 1857 by the clerks of other towns.
The copy prepared for the Register is absolutely verbatim from the
original.
j&r. Townsend entered in the Church book the births and deaths from
1749 to 1762, and both of these lists are described as a '^ Continuation."
It is my intention to furnish for the Register in 1902, a copy of these births
aod deaths. The sixteen hundred baptisms, 1720 to 1811, are of great
value, and ought to be printed, but there is no immediate prospect of publi-
cation.
Mr. Amos Fuller, who died in 1810, had a record of deaths in Needham,
numbering about seven hundred, and covering a period of forty years. Any
information as to the whereabouts of Mr. Fuller's record would be thank-
fully received by persons interested in the town of Needham.

ROBERT SMITH OF BOXFORD.
Bj Ethel Stanwood Bolton, A.B., of Shirley.
Fragments of the material of this genealogy are to be foand in the
EUstories of Boxford, Shrewsbury and Shirley, and in the leaflets concerning
the Ipswich Smiths lately published by Rev. Augustine Caldwell. Certain
deeds and wills at Salem and East Cambridge have furnished proof by
which these scattered facts could be connected.
1. Robert* Smith, as early as 1661, was living in that part of Rowley
which afterward became Boxford. It has not been proved whence he
came, but he probably was the Robert Smith of Ipswich, whose daughter
Mary was born in that town on October 28, 1658. His name appears
infrequently on the local records. In 1 673, he and fiye others signed a
petition to the General Court, praying that the efforts of certain persons
who were endeavoring to ** free us from Topsfield, and lay us to Rowley "
be frustrated. He took the oath of allegiance in 1678, and in 1680 his
name appears on the records of Rowley as the head of a family. In
1684, Robert's wife, whose name is not given, was a member of the church
in Topsfield, in full communion. Robert Smith died intestate on August
80, 1693 (Essex Wills, Vol. 306, p. 114), and his son Samuel was made
administrator (Essex Wills, Vol. 306, p. 74). He left an estate worth
£189: 7: 8.*
Robert Smith and Mary had :
2. i. Thomas,* b. about 1667.
li. Mary, b. at Ipswich, Oct. 28, 1658.
ill. Fhebe, b. at Rowley, Aug. 26, 1B61.

2. Thokab* Ssoth (Salerfi) was bom about 1657, for in a deposiftiaR
dated September 23, 1697, be calls himself forty years old. On
Febmaryie, 1719, Thomas Smith, innholder of Ipswich, *< eldest
son of Mr. Robert Smith of Boxford," qnitcUumed his rights in
his father's and mother's estate to his brothers Ephraim, Samoel
and Jacob (Essex HVUls, YoL 818, p. 98). His wife Maitha'a
maiden name was perhaps Knowlton. 1^ lived on the rim d
Meeting House Green in Ipswich, and his son Ephraim where the
old Bl(^ House stood, on the comer of the Lane. Thomas Smith*
died in Ipswich on February 25, 1725-6, leaving three sons and three
daughters. ICs will was probated February 28, 1725-6 (Essex
WiUs, Vol. 315, p. 332), disposing of an estate valued at £218 : 7 : 9d.
He left to his wife Martha one third of his real and moveable es-
tate. His three sons, Thomas, John and Ebeneser were given two
shillings each, since they had received, as had their deceased brother
Ephraim, their share in their father's estate. The three daughters
divided the rest of his esUte equally (Essex Wills, YoL 316, p. 186).
His children were bom in Ipswich.
Thomas Smith and Martha had :
i. Thomas,* b. January 24, 1660 ; m. Martha Emmons ; d. about 1729.
ii. Sarah, b. December, 1685; d. August 19, 1704.

1760, Ebenezer Stanwood of Ipswich, peruke-maker. Smith was a
tailor by trade. In 1748 he and his wife mortgaged half a house and
his land on Meeting House Hill to Ebenezer Stanwood, who was
obliged to foreclose (Essex Deeds, Vol. 90, p. 103, and Vol. 93, p.
184) . He had by his first wife : OilbeH, Mary, Sarah, Hannah, Elizor

8. Ephraim* Smith (Bobert^) waa bom in Boxford October 29, 1663.
While still a young man and unmarried, he responded to the call of
Governor Andros and his Council and, with John Tyler and Jona-
than Frost of Boxford, joined the expedition against the French,
and served seventeen weeks. On March 11, 1689-90, the town
agreed to pay each of these three men six shillings a week for his
services. On September 6, 1694, he married Mary, the daughter
of John and Elizabeth (Perkins) Ramsdell of Boxford. In 1732,
before he died, he deeded land in Boxford to his son John, because
John had lived with him dutifully for &ye years since coming of
age, and had been very useful on the farm (Essex Deeds, Vol. 83,
p. 216). In his will, dated the same year, he left the house also to
John. His children were bom in Boxford, formerly a part of
Rowley.

He married first, Phebe Howe ; and second, Rebecca, the daughter
of John Curtis, Senior, of Topsfield (Essex Wills, Vol. 312, p.
298). He was a carpenter by trade. His will, dated March 26,
1747-8, appointed Rebecca Smith and John Gould executors. He
died July 12, and his will was probated August 22, 1748 (Essex
Wills, Vol. 328, p. 115). The Topsfield records give a large
number of children to Samuel Smith. It is impossible to tell
whether they all belong to this Samuel or not, but his will mentions
daughters, and two sons, Samuel and Robert. I include the full
list, as given on the church records in Topsfield.

Vashti and Susanna, received £4. apiece and the household fnrnitnre
after their mother's death (Essex wills. Vol. 858, p 127). He is called
''gentleman"; and is chiefly noteworthy from the fact that he was the
great-grandfather of Joseph Smith who founded Mormonism. His

6. EpiiRAm" Smith {Ephraim* Robert^) was born in Boxford. He was
a cabinet-maker, and in 1725 was the only one in Boxford. He
married his first wife in that town, and had one daughter, Mary,
who was baptized in the Topsfield church. He left Boxford and
settled in Shrewsbury, before 1 732, as his father's will, dated that
year, calls him "of Shrewsbury." On August 16, 1733, he mar-
ried liis second wife, Hannah, daughter of Daniel Rice of Shrews-
bury. In 1745, land was laid out to Ephraim Smith " in the right
of the 19*^ House Lot." His children, except Mary, were born in

with his wife and three children finally settled in Shirley, about
1750. In that year, he bought land of Jerahmeel Powers, in the
western part of Shirley. The deed gives his residence as Leomin-
ster (Middlesex Deeds, Vol. 60, p. 253). In 1755, he sold this
same land to his brother, ** Ephraim Smith of Shrewsbury" (Mid-
dlesex Deeds, Vol. 60, p. 254). His wife died in Shirley on Feb-
ruary 12, 1784, and was buried in the Old Cemetery at the Centre.

first attempt of this quinto was the establishment of a Bank, with a view
of rivalling and weakening the effects of the national Bank. But this
scheme will not succeed, as the House of Assembly seem not disposed
to countenance it by a charter. The second effort was a petition to the
House to repeal the test law, and admit all persons to the right of electing
or being elected, be their political creed what it may. This had well-nigh
succeeded, bat was finally postponed by the casting vote of the Speaker. It
was remarkable that not one of the persons who were to be benefited by
this repeal signed any of the petitions. This would have implied ac-
knowledgment of the present government ; but they bad address enough to
draw in some good wliigs and a great many half whigs to sign and counte-
nance these petitions. Had it succeeded, we should have seen every move-
ment of our government tending to the restoration of every prejudice in
favor of British politics. We should have seen the most partial acts passed
in favor of British commerce, and a most disrespectfid neglect of foreigners.

State has 100 shares, Gen^ W., 100, D Ross 50. I took 10. 200 dollars is a
fihare and every share till 10 has a vote. When above 10 every five shares
have only one vote. The Capitol ground is now marked out here, and as-
tonishing to me, indeed, is the place fixed upon for it. Economy has made
the directors an Alan, E. Randolph, Wm. Hay, Jay Ambler, Rob'. Goode,
James Buchanan, Richard Adams, and Turner Southall [ ] the publick
buildings all under one roof. They have marked out the ground, which is
now digging ; the first bricks to be laid on AVednesday next, with (?) a
medal, <&c. <&c. Horrors. They have brought it to the point of the hill
above my house with a deep ravine or gully on each side by the time the
portico and steps &c. &c. are finished it leaves no room for a street, unless
it is to serpentine along the bottom beginning below my house and going
up by the spring, called the Governor's. By receding 100 feet backward,
they would have had a spacious field on each side, with room for Capital
Yard and spacious avenues on every hand for pleasure or use. I wish you
had been here and one of the directors ; it has appeared to the gentlemen
in a different light than to every other person without exception that has
viewed the ground. In the 1 00 feet there is a rise of between 7 and 8 feet,
and a great many bricks and other expences to the publick would have
been saved. As they have consulted you about the plan of the building, I
wish to god, you would offer your advice as to its site, if you please. It
may not come too late. * ♦ * James Curuie.

* * * The Congress rarely reaches our ears ; the General
Court is now sitting here, & the gentlemen of the law increase very fast at
its bar. John Mercer, Esq., this is his second court there, I expect Mon-
roe and Hardy soon, &c. &c. The votaries are numerous, but I believe 3
or 4 of them receive and have appetites sufficient to devour all the loaves
and fishes. I can't help thinking we have too much litigation and law suits
here, to l»ccome a flourishing people. Till some change in that and many other
respects, takes place we are fast verging to individual and universal bank-
ruptcy. As a conmiercial people, our exports bear no proportion to our
imports. Our taxes are heavy, our extravagance unequalled in so young a
country : e.g. at Fredericksburg t'other day, 40 new (and elegant) char-
iots appeared on the turf, in addition to what served them last year, on
the same or similar occasion. Every thing is in proportion. We astonish
strangers and all our own natives who have been absent some time and just
returned from Europe. Some intelligence communicated by you in a letter
to our Executive, regarding Sir R. Herries' contract with the Farmers
Cren'l of France, made its appearance in the public papers, t'other day, with
what degree of policy, delicacy or prudence I leave you to judge. The

more than saflicient for our own consumption. Heavy taxes, extravagance

money. Whether sound policy directs the measure (if it takes place) or
sympathy for peculiar situations and droumstances directs the measure, I
know not nor pretend to say ; but one thing is certain, it will certainly
continue the delusion we are under in regard to our own finances, and pro-
crastinate the period when we ought, and from dire necessity must live in
every respect more conformable to our situation as an infant republic.

Great B : and America, before during and since the war ; their connexion
and relation to one another as commereial countries, and with others in

which he writes, and accounts to me very plainly what are the efficient
causes of Sir R. Herries* tobacco contract with the F. G^ of France &c. &c ;
and as we manage matters here, has it more in his power perhaps to fullfil
it than any man we can oppose him with a candidate or a competitor with

Dear Sir,
By means of a merchant vessel that sails from this place to
rOrient, I have the pleasure to inform you of my safe arrival after an
agreeable passage of 32 days ; altho' I cannot give so high commendations
on the accomodations of the French packet as I could have done on a
former occasion. The fineness of the weather and the hilarity of the pas-
sengers, however, atoned for some circumstances not perfectly satisfactory

As I have been but one week in New York, and another in this town, I
cannot undertake to give with precision a state of the politics of this coun-
try ; but if I may rely in some measure on the opinions of almost every
person with whom I have conversed, our federal concerns are not in a very
promising situation. For notwithstanding the States of Rhode Island and
New York have at length come into the 5 per cent, impost, yet, I am in-
formed the restrictions are such as make it doubtful whether their offers
can be accepted. This and several other States have at their late session
emitted paper money. Pennsylvania has prohibited the collection of the
impost until the supplementary requisitions shall have been adopted by all
the States. This I fear will not be done by the Legislature of Connecticut,
who are now sitting. In the mean[time] there is not a single farthing in
the public treasury, the civil list is uupaid, and the few troops to the west-
ward in danger of disbanding for want of money and supplies. Desertions
have been so frequent that a Major Wyllys of this State has lately ordered
some prompt executions, for which he is in arrest by order of Congress.
Hutchins and the surveyors are, however, just setting out for the Western
country. Congress accepted last week the cession of Connecticut.
The refusal of the British to deliver up the frontier posts is not generally
known, but so far as I have heard it spokeu of, it seems to excite a spirit
of indignation. Some hostilities have lately been committed by the sav-
ages. The public mind is in anxious expectation respecting the piratical
powers. Lamb's conduct in obtaining his appointment is considered as
very extraordinary : his character is perhaps much lower here than we
could have conceived.
Congress have not yet done anything on foreign affairs. An attempt
was made last week to appoint a minister to the Hague. Mr. Izard had
six States, but no choice could be made. Congress will continue together
through the summer.
I believe the country is much altered in many respects since we left it.
Grov. Clinton is said to have become an anti federalist. He was not in New
York when I was there. Certain it is, the issue of a paper currency in
that State depended upon him. Many people appear to be uneasy and to
prognosticate revolutions, they hardly know how or why. A scarcity of
money ia universally complained of ; but to judge by the face of the coun-
try ; by the appearance of ease and plenty which are to be seen every-
where, one would believe a great portion of the poverty and evils com-
plained of, must be imaginary. # ♦ ♦ D Humphreys.

• * * Mr Henry is still governor ; his and all the other officers
of government salaries were curtailed under the auspices of Thos. Under-
wood of Goochland, and other reformers. Harrison got the chair last ses-
tion, after a violent struggle about residence and non-residence last elec-
tion the Surry men have left him out, and the high sheriff of C[harles]
City died before the time of election, and Otway Byrd, his successor, being
out of the way at the time to enter upon his new office there was no elec-
tion, and of course the Assembly must meet before the writs can be issued,
which will prevent Colo H. having the chair, should he be sent a delegate.

uppermost and playing the mischief. They have published a bill for con-
sideration which will probably pass next session to demolish the Bank.
The ostensible reason is that it is incompatible with a free government, but
the real reason b that Mr. Morris aud the directors of the bank are not of
the present ruliug party. They have also passed a most iniquitous ex
post facto law to favour Mr. liolker in his demands against Mr. Morris.
It would be too long a detail to give you a com|>etent idea of this matter.
Mr. Marbois has formed a kind of coalition with Mr. Holker, and Mr.
Morris aud be are at odds. Tliis together with the affair of Longchamps,
whicth Mr. Marbois has pursued with great inveteracy, have rendered Mr.
Marbois very unpopular in this city. The affair of Longchamps yet re-

BOURN-BAILEY BIBLE RECORDS.
Communicated by Hbnbt L. Clapp, Esq., of Koxbary, ^(ass.
The Bourn-Bailey Bible was probably used for a family record
first by Shearjashub Bourn,* son of Hon. Melatiah Bourn of Sand-
wich, and pastor of the First Church in Scituate, 1724. Benjamin
Bailey of Scituate married, for his second wife. Desire (Bourn)
Ru88el,t daughter of Shearjashub, Oct. 29, 1757 (Scituate Eeo-
ords), and in that way the Bible came into the possession of the
* Tho line of Shearjashub^ Bourn (bom 21 Dec, 1699) was: Hon. Melatiah' (bom

Bailey family. Benjamin Bailey had by his first wife, Ruth (Tilden)
Liitchfield,* Benjamin, Jr. (bom 1747), who married Marcy Bailey,
Jan. 29, 1775. Marcy, daughter of Benjamin, Jr., became the
second wife of Thomas Clapp, May 6, 1799, his first wife having
been Emily Stockbridge, whom he married. May 11, 1794 (Scituate
Records). Marcy Bailey died Dec. 25, 1826, and the Bible went
to her husband, Thomas Clapp, who died April 25, 1850, aged 75
years. (The statement in "The Clapp Memorial," page 129, that
he was bom in 1766, is incorrect. He was born in 1775.) When
he died, the Bible went to his third wife, Polly (Damon) Clapp,
and when she died, Feb. 5, 1870, it fell to her grandson, Edward
Barnes of Dorchester, who died in 1898, and whose widow sold it,
in 1900, to Henry Lincoln Clapp, grandson of Thomas. Thus,
after being out of the Clapp family for fifty years, it was almost by
accident restored, no member of the family suspecting its existence
till 1897.

1643, under the aospices of the Iron Works Company, at its beginning ia
New England, perhaps sdlling from EngUmd when John Winthrop, Jr., in
''May, 1643, did at great costs and chai^ges imbarqne himself, w^ many'
workmen, servants A materialls for the said setting jp of iron workes, in the
good ship the An Cleeve, of London'' (5 Mass. Hist Soc. Collections, viii.,

The Christian name Quentin was not unccmimon in Scotland, and the sur-
name Pray is said to be of Frendi origin, from /Vs, a meadow. It may
be significant that Anderson and Downing, of the early founderymen at
Lynn, were from Scotland. Of Quinton*s two sons, Richard' settled in
Providence, R. L (see Austin's '< Gen. Diet, of Rhode Island," page 358),
while JoHN^ remained in Braintree ; and his two daughters, Hannah ai^
DoBOTHT, married and lived in Braintree.
John' Prat married in Braintree, 7 May, 1657, Joanna Downam, jve-
sumably a daughter of John Downam, or Downham, of Braintree. He
died in 1676, when, 31 Oct of that year, administration was granted to,
and the first inventory of the estate (£335.) was rendered by, the widow
Joanna (Suffolk Probate Records, xii., 12, 112). She married second^
Daniel Livingstone [Lewiston, Lcvistown] of York, Maine, perhaps in 1 685
when, as ap|>ear8 by York Deeds, iv., 45, she entered into a post-nuptial
•agreement " to bring her too sons & daughter with her to yorke," who are
described as " her three youngest children." Daniel Lewwton [Living-
stone] was killed at York by the Indians, 20 Aug., 1694, acconling to
Savage ; and in December following, Joanna bought some land adjoining
his estate, as recorded in York Deeds, vii., 15.

288 Descendants of Dea, Zachary Fitch. [July,
THE DESCENDANTS OF DEA. ZACHARY FITCH OF
READING.
By Hon. Ezka S. Steabns, A. M.
It is the province of this genealogy, in the Register, to present a con-
densed record of the descendants of Dea. Zachary Fitch. The space assigned
for these articles will not admit an extended notice of individuals, but dates,
residence and general facts will be presented, to clearly identify the several
persons named.
In the Register, Vol. xlvi., p. 323, is found the will of Thomas Fitch
of Bocking, Essex, England. He married Anne Reve, Aug. 6, 1611, and
died in Bocking, 1632 or early in the following year. He names sons,
Thomas, John, James, Samuel, and Joseph, who came to New England,
and also names other children, Nathaniel, Jeremy, Mary, Anna and Sarah.
The first bequest provides for the oldest son Thomas, lx)rn 1612, died in
Conn., 1 704. The second bequest, " To my son and his heirs the messuage in
Bocking, late of Richard Usher, deceased," &c., possibly designates a son
whose name is unintentionally omitted. It remains, however, to be proved
that Dea. Zachary Fitch of Reading was a son of Thomas Fitch of Bocking.
The date of the birth of Dea. Zachary Fitch, and of his older sons, is not
recorded, but the age of some of his grand-children suggests that possibly
Dea. Zachary Fitch was a few years too old to be admitted among the chil-
dren of Thomas Fitch of Bocking.
1. Zaciiakv^ Fitch, the emigrant ancestor, of one branch of the Fitch
Families of New England, came to Lynn about 1033. It is under-
stood that he lived in Lynn a few years, and settled about 1640
in the South Parish of Reading, now AVakefield, where he lived
until his death. The boundary lines of Lynn and other early towns
were not clearly defined — Zachary Fitch with others received grants
of land from Lynn which fell within the town of Reading when that
town was organizetl. It is probable that he occupied the land in
Reading, now Wakefield, a few years earlier than the date assumed
by Eaton's History of Reading. He was admitted freeman in 1638.
lie was an original member of the Church of Reading, and a Deacon
from 10-15 until he died; and a selec^tman, 1649, '51, '61. In the
records of Reading he is frequently named, and in the colonial
papers of his time the good character of the man is fully confirmed.
A facsimile of his autograph is found in the Rkcjister, Vol.
xxxiii, page 61, and other autographs are found m original papers.
He wrote the name Zachrie, and his contemporaries frecpiently wrote
it Zachary and Zachery, but the name of his son and of many of his
descendants has taken the full form of Zachariah. The name of his
wife was ^lary, but a record of the marriage has not been found.
It is certain that he was married about the time he emigrated to Amer*
ica, and, so far as known, the marriage could have been consummated
in P^.ngland or immediately after liis arrival in America. He died
in Reading, June 9, 1662. His will is dated March 18, 1662. To
his sons Benjamin, Joseph and Samuel, who were farmers remain-
ing in Reading, he devised lands in Reading ; and to his sons Jere-

miah, Thomas and John he gave money. It is known that Jeremiah
and Thomas were merchants in Boston, and as thb is the only men-
tion we have of John, it is presumed from the character of the be-
quest that he had removed from Reading, and possibly was engaged
in business. In naming the children of Zachary and Mary Fitch,
the order of age is not fully known.
Children :
Thomas,' m. Martha Fisk.

2. Thomas' Fitch, son of Dea. Zachary^, removed to Boston at an
early age. He married about 1654, Martha Fisk, only dau. David
and Sarah (Smith) Fisk of Watertown. He is styled cordwainer,
but he owned houses and stores in Boston. He was a constable
1663, and sealer of leather 1670. He died 1678. Administration
of his estate was committed to the Widow Martha. The inventory
includes one negro man.

3. Jeremiah^ Fitch, son of Dea. Zachary^, settled in Boston. Ho
was a glover, and prosperous. He was clerk of the market, and
frequently named in Boston records. I do not find a record of his
first marriage — her name was Esther. She died Sept. 14, 1656. He
m. second, in Weymouth, Feb. 25, 1657, Sarah Chubbuck, b. 1638,

as the wife of Benjamin Fitch, but town records assert the name
Elizabeth Skerry. In his will, 1 694, Francis Skerry, Essex County,
names his cousin Elizabeth Fitch, wife of Benjamin Fitch, and her

The limits of this article will not admit a sketch of one of the most
prominent men of his time. The reports of the Record Commis-
sioners, in which he receives frequent and honorable mention, will
supply many details. He was a selectman 1702-1705, declining
after an election in 1706. He was a representative, a magistrate
and a councillor, and in the military service he was a colonel. He
was a merchant, and acquired great wealth. A volume of business
letters, copied for reference and transcribed by himself, is now in the
custody of this Society. Beside valuable real estate in Boston, his
estate included 2,200 acres in Lunenburg, 2,346 acres in Dunstable,
and nearly equal tracts in Townsend, and several other towns
recently organized. He owned a part of the Common north of
Boylston street, which fell by inheritance to the Oliver family. His
will is dated July 19, 1735. At this date all his children, except
Martha Allen, were deceased ; but his daughter, Mary Oliver, was
represented by a son, Andrew Oliver, Jr. He made a bequest to the
poor of Boston, and bequeathed £300 to Harvard College " for the
education of scholars of good capacity for the work of the ministry."
He m. April 12, 1694, Abiel Danforth, baptized Jan. 31, 1674-5,

settled at the time of his marriage. (See Hazen's Billerica, and
Brown's Bedford.) This farm was in Billerica, and in the incorpor-
ation of Bedford, 1729, it was included in the new town. His chil-
dren were bom in Billerica, but those who remained upon the
paternal acres were residents of Bedford. He was a soldier in the
Indian War, 1706 ; and many of his sons and grandsons were soldiers

HON. JAMES BARRETT.
By Hon. Russell Smith Taft, LL.D.
James Barrett, A.M., LL.D., was the son of Martin and
Dorcas (Patterson) Barrett. He was a descendant of James
Barrett who was in Charlestown, Massachusetts, in 1643. The
line of descent is as follows: James,* James,' Jonathan,' bom
Charlestown, Massachusetts, 1678, Jonathan,^ bom Maiden, Mas-
sachusetts, 1699, Benjamin,* born Framingham, Massachusetts,
October 25, 1726, James,* bom Killingly, Connecticut, February
17, 1761, Martin,' bom Stafford, Connecticut, August 26, 1784,
James.'
Dorcas (Patterson) Barrett was bom October 26, 1788, of an-
cestry who came from Londonderry, Ireland, to Londonderry, New
Hampshire.
Martin,' the father of James, was a prominent citizen of Straf-
ford, Vermont, and was five times elected to represent that town in
the State Legislature, two elections being the number usually given
representatives, and twice he represented the town in Constitutional
Conventions.
James Barrett, the subject of this sketch, was born in Strafford,
Vermont, May 31, 1814, and in his youth learned the trade of a
clothier and carder. He attended the common schools, pursued the
collegiate preparatory course at the academies in Montpelier and
Randolph, Vermont, and graduated at Dartmouth College in 1838.
He delivered the Master's oration at the commencement at that in-
stitution in 1841, when the Master's degree was conferred upon
faim by his alma mater. He was given the degree of LL.D. by
Middlebury College, in 1865. The year after graduation he studied
law with James Crocker, in Buffalo, New York, completing his
studies at Woodstock with Charles Marsh, the leader at that time
of the Vermont Bar, and was admitted as an attorney in Windsor
County at the December term, 1840.
He began practicing as a partner of his late preceptor, and so
continued until 1843, when he became partner of Jacob Collamer.
In January, 1848, he removed to Boston, and remained there for
more than a year, when regard for the health of his family caused
his return to Woodstock; and soon after, the noted law firm of
Tracy, Converse & Barrett was formed, which continued until the
election of the junior member of the firm, in the fall of 1857, as
Judge of the Supreme Court. No other law firm ever existed in
Vermont so well equipped for the practice of their profession as this.
At the annual elections in 1844 and 1845, he was elected a state
senator. At the first election he was thirty years of age — a con-
stitutional requirement — and in the sixty-five years of the Senate's
296 Hon. James Barrett. i^^Jf
existence but three others have been elected so young. At the
session in 1845, he was president pro tern, of the Senate and chair-
man of the judiciary committee. In 1852, when the Supreme
Court was composed of three members only, he was strongly sup-
ported for a judgeship. At the election in 1857, in the general
assembly composed of two hundred and seventy members, he was
elected by thirty-eight majority over two other candidates, Mr.
Merrill, and Mr. T. P. Redfield, who later became an honored
member of the court. At the elections in 1854 and 1855, he was
chosen by the people State's Attorney for Windsor County.
He was president of the Dartmouth Alumni Association, suc-
ceeding Chief Justice Chase, of the Vermont Bar association, of the
Phi Beta Kappa of Dartmouth, and vice-president of the Vermont
Historical Society. He became a member of the New-England
Historic Genealogical Society in 1889, was immediately elected its
vice-president for Vermont, and held that office until the time of
his death.
He read before the Vermont Historical Society biographical
sketches of Jacob Collamer and Charles Marsh, delivered orations
at Diurtmouth, Norwich University, and Middlebury College, and
gave many other addresses and orations during the sixty years of
his active life. In his professional and judicial life he did more
service than almost any other man in the state ; was engaged as
counsel before judges who were elected as early as 1822, and
before most of those elected after that until his judicial life began
in 1857. He was well known throughout the commonwealth,
and was everywhere esteemed for his knowledge of the law, his
acute but stubborn intellect, and upright character. For sixty
years he was a prominent figure in the courts of this state. In the
trial of causes at nisi prius^ his manner was curt yet comprehen-
sive ; by some he was regarded as imperious and commanding, but
this arose from the fact that he had no patience with an unlearned
attorney, and his criticisms, being uttered in plain, forcible, and
expressive language, gave him a dictatorial air not at all relished
by the victim smarting under the lash. His rulings in such trials
were made with greater reference to wliat he thought the law ought
to be, than to what it had actually been declared to be in the re-
ports. While he paid due deference to his associates, his language
concerning them would sometimes bring a smile to the faces of the
bar. He had presided at a trial in which his rulings were reversed
by the supreme court. Upon the second trial, the counsel read
from the opinion of the court criticising the rulings upon the first
trial, after which the Judge inquired in his nonchalant manner,
"Does any one expect me to be governed by such twaddle as that? "
His manner of expression was forcible, and sometimes gave an
added zest to the proceedings. A defeated litigant petitioned the
supreme court for a new trial upon the ground that he was surprised
1901.] Mw York Settlers from New England. 297
at the first trial by the perjury of his adversary. The petition was
dismissed, the court speaking by Ross, J., simply stated that the
petition was not sustained. Whereupon Judge Barrett remarked
that Bro. Boss was not feeling well that morning, and was unac-
quainted with the parties, and could not do the case justice. He
wished to add that the court were satisfied that the party did commit
perjury, the rankest kind of perjury, that the allegations in the
petition in that respect were fully sustained by the most irrefragable
proof, but that the petitioner or any one else was surprised by it, or
that he ought to expect anything else than perjury, to be believed,
must be told to some one not so well acquainted with the parties as
he was. Indeed had the petitioner alleged that he was surprised
that his adversary did speak the truth, did not commit perjury, his
surprise would have been fully justified.
In trials before him, the cases did not drift with the tide, and it
is safe to say that the cx>urt, not the counsel, had control. One thing
is certain, whoever heard him in the court room had no doubt what
Judge Barrett thought about any principle of law he was stating.
He was one of the strong men in the Supreme Court of Vermont,
a worthy colleague of Peck, Poland, Aldis, and Wheeler. His
rulings were pointed, clear, and sharp. He was a great scholar,
classical as well as legal ; one of the most learned and able judges
that ever graced the bench of the state court. After he retired
from the bench, he removed to Butland, where his son, James
Crocker, a promising member of the profession, was in practice.
He died in Butland, April 21, 1900, as he was nearing the close of
his 86th year.
Judge Barrett married, September 23, 1844, Maria Lord Wood-
worth of South Coventry, Connecticut, who survives him, with four
children : Elizabeth Hubbard, wife of Lewis W. Hicks of Hart-
ford, Connecticut ; Bush Palmer Barrett of Butland ; John Arnold
Barrett of New York; and Bev. Samuel Allen Barrett of Gilbert-
yille, Massachusetts.

already heen printed in histories of Southampton, Southold, and Long Is-
land in general.
298 New York SeUlersfrom Ntw England. [July,
Au interesting incident that appetn to bear on one town on Long Island
seems worthy of mention :
A document, endorsed in the handwriting of Lord Keeper Carentry,
'*this letter was set up on the church of Hamsted (Hempstead) in do.
Hertford, and delivered by Mr. Sanders of the Star Chamber," is on file in
the Public Record Office, London. It is addressed '' Midiael Mean-well to
Mathew Mark-well at hb house in Muse-much parish." The date is 1 628.
This pseudonymous letter sets forth why the writer and some others have
resolved to go to New £ngland. The grounds stated are, dislike of choich
ceremonies, of the regimen and government of the Established Chorch,
and of some points of doctrine defended by authority.
The author argues that ceremonies which have no express warrant in the
word of Grod cannot be used in 6od*s worship without sin. He appeals to
the works of Cartwright, Penry and Knox * * * In doctrine, he objecta
to the assertions that God's predestination proceeded upon foreknowledge
of good and evil ; that Christ died for all men, that all children baptized are
saved, that a man may fall away from grace, and that our Sabbath is not a
divine institution.
The most singular part of this letter is that it b dated from " Little-
worth." There is a parish of tliat name in Berks. Also a locality called
Little worth End, two miles from Bedford, the scene of the labors of John
Bun van, who, as a singular coincidence, was bom in 1628. The address on
the letter, however, is a pseudonym, but, curiously, it was to be adopted in
the future as the name of a locality in the >4cinity of Hempstead, Long
Island. Hempstead was bought of the natives by Rev. Robert Fordham
and Mr. John Carman in HJ43, and thev obtained a patent from Gov.
Ki'.-ft, 10 Nov., 1644. (N. Y. l)ee«ls, iii. 100.) Of Fonlham little is knoAvn,
but he seems to have been a Puritan preacher who has escaped the notice
of historians of nonconformity. The Fonlham family were numerous in
Herts at that time. lie came to New England about 1630, and was at
Canihri<lge a short time, and at Sudhnr}', ^lass., in 1640. In 1642, Loch-
ford speaks of him as a minister out of office. He sold his lands in Sud-
bury in 1643, and his name appears first in the patent for tlie town of
Henip>tead, Long Island. Josiah Stanborough, in writing from South-
ampton, 4 April, 16o0, to John Winthrop, Jr., says that "Southampton
will be to strait for Mr. Fordham's friendes." He had an imbecile son
John, who died in 1683.
An airreement made 26 Nov., 1674, between Joseph Fonlham and his
mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Fonlliam, on one i>art, and Mr. Jonah Fordham,
by his a;L:ent Edward Ilowell. and al^ Edward Howell and wife Mary, on
the otht-r part, res])ecting John Fordham and Mrs. Hannah Clark, dau^diter
of Rol>ert Fordham, deceaiied, makes the said Joseph and his mother ex-
ecutors, and divides the estate among all the abovenamed heirs.
27 Nov., 1674, Capt. John Howell, age 4>i, saith four days b«.?fore Rob-
ert Fordham died, Ix'ing sent for, he went into ^Ir. Fordham's new room,
where he lay sick on his bed — Mrs. Katherine, wife of Rev. Thomas James,
asked who should have his house and lands, he answered,? Jose])h. She
asked what his son Jonah (Rev. Jonah Fordham, Harvard 1658) should
have, he answered ** a small matter twenty pounds.** She remarked it
was indeed a small matter. Mr. Fonlham answered " he was a rebellious
son and he had given him many a twenty pounds, and he was not bound to
give to rebellious children. By the agreement, however, he received £100,
of the living stock, books bequeathed in his father's life time^ 50 acres of

land formerly laid out to Mr. Robert Fordham, lying against the mill path,
between the Town and Hollow, conmionly called LiUletvorth, and £50. of
commonage, also 4^ acres of land in Little Plain, and one home lot of 3
acres which Mr. Robert Fordham bought of Mr. Browne.
10 Nov., 1684. On receipt of a letter from Richard Kirby in regard to
the death of Thomas Hopkins, his two sons in Providence, to whom the
letter was addressed, wrote to the selectmen of Oyster Bay, of plantation
called Littleworth, asking them to appoint Ephraim Carpenter and William
Thomcraft to look after the matter of the estate for them, etc. (Austin, p.
824.)
Joseph Alsop, aged 14, came to Boston in 1635, in the *' Elizabeth and
Ann," from London, and went to New Haven, where he took the oath of
fidelity in 1644, and shortly after married Elizabeth, eldest daughter of
William Preston, and had amongst others, Daniel, b. 13 Aug., 1667, who
went to Southold, L. I., where he died, 2 Jan., 1698.
Thomas Armitage came in the "James" from Bristol in 1635, with
Mr. Richard Mather. He was at Lynn, a freeman at Plymouth, 6 Mch.,
1636-7, then at Sandwich as deputy, 1639. He had a grant of land at
Stamford, Conn., 1641, and later settled at Oyster Bay, Long Island.
Manasseh Armitage was a graduate of Ilarvard College in 1660, of
whom Mr. Savage says, " who gladly would I find some, the minutest story
of, as date of birth or who was his father or anything else," etc.
Sibley's Harvard Graduates states that Manasseh was son of Thomas
above mentioned (Register xlL, 83). As recent works have not acknow-
ledged these facts, I present the following document to confirm them :
" Whereas I, Thomas Armitage, now of Oyster Bay, of perfect health
and memory, and so have been of a long time nor have been deprived of
sense or reason whereby I should have made over my estate by deed or
will to my son Manasses, now in Cambridge College, only to be allowed
by him a maintenance for life. If any such shall appear, they are forged
and false. He has fraudulently taken from mo several bills, bonds and
writings, to convert them to his own use. I desire all persons not to pay
him any debt due me, lest they pay in their own damage." Then follows
testimony, 3 June, 1C59 — "Robert Ashman said nine years back he was
bound for James Pine to Thomas Armitage his father-in-law, for £30 which
he intended to give his son Manasses, so that his wife should not have his
estate and deprive his son. * ♦ * Armitage said, * I have now married a
young wife and may have other children, and therefore may have need of
that myself, to be at my own disposing, that Manasses has taken away.'
William Smith said nine years ago, Armitage proffered me cattle to keep
for the use of Manasses and that at the end of eleven years I should return
the cattle and profit. * * *
Elizabeth, wife of Jeremy Wood saith that about seven years past,
Martha, the late wife of Thomas, being at my house, she told me that Mr.
Wood and Mr. Moore, were at her house and were about making a deed of
gift from her husband to her son-in-law." (Hempstead Records, A, 155-
162.)

ANDREW CUNNINGHAM OF BOSTON, AND SOME OF
mS DESCENDANTS.
By Henrt Winchester Cunningham, A.B.
1. Andrew^ Cunningham was without doubt a Scotch emigrant, and
the founder of the family in
Boston, though the writer has
never been able to find out the
exact date of his arriyal, nor
from whence he came.
The earliest mention of his name is in 1684, upon the records of the
Scots Charitable Society of Boston, which was in that year revived ; and at
the beginning of the Rules or By-Laws adopted Oct. 25, 1684, and which
he and others signed, it is expressly stated, " Wee are this day convined
being Scottsmen and the sons of Scotts-men Inhabitants of Bostone." At
the meeting of the Society held 4th Feb., 1695, we find him chosen as one
of the key keepers of the box containing the funds of the Society.
ffis occupation was that of a glazier, and this trade was followed by at
least two of his sons and some of his grandsons.
In the Town Riite made 6 June, 1687, under Precinct No. 6, is found
the name of " Amlrew Cuningham, Glassier," and he is put down as having
seven acres of laud, and his tax amounted to 2 sh. 3 d. His name is also
found in the list of inhabitants in Precinct No. 6 in 1688, 16i)l and 1695.
(See Boston Rec. Com. Report, I, pages 89, 117, 141, 154 and 160.)
At the Town Meeting held March 13, 1692-3, **iVndreu Cunican" is
chosen to a small town position, and from this spelling the pronunciation
of the name at that time may be inferred. (See Rec. Com. Report, 7,
page 213.)
In Foote's History of Kmg s Chapel (1882), Vol. I., pages 109 and 119,
is found, "The Christmas Services in 1695 seem to have aroused the old
antagonism again, as the Record of that date reads * pd. for mending win-
dous to Coningham 18 sh.* " ; and to show that he was still occupied with
his trade as late as 1719, there is found in SewalFs Diary, vol. 3, page 235,
a reference to a similar service performed after certain lawless persons had
broken windows in Judge SewalJ's house.
In 1696, Andrew Ctumingham signed a petition of "Sundry Inhabitants
of Boston," asking for the repeal of the stringent building laws of 1692.
(See Register, vol. 16, p. 86.) At the Town Meeting held 14 May, 1705,
"Andrew Cunnigham is chosen to Serve as Constable for the ye^r en-
sueing in the room of William Briggs, s'* Cunningham pleading a lameness
in his Armes is by ye vote of the Town Excused from Sd Service." (Rec
Com. Report, 8, page 34.)
In the great lire of 2 Oct., 1711, which destroyed the Town House, First
Church, and so many buildings in the centre of the town, he must have
been burned out or suffered some loss, for on the records of the Scots
Charitable Society is found, **Isov. 6, 1711 at a full quarterly meeting both
of the Inhabitants and several gentlemen contributing, upon consideration
1 901 . ] Andrew Cunningham of Boston. 305
of the Great Loss that several members of the Society has sustained in the
late, awfull desolation by fire, it was voted, nemine contra dicentey that
♦ * ♦ Andrew Canninghame shall be paid by the Treasurer ten pounds
out of the said Society's Box."
It is not known where he lived during the early part of his residence in
Boston, but on Feb. 1, 1711, he bought land on the northerly side of Summer
St., between Marlborough St. and Bishop's Alley. (Suffolk Deeds, Lib.
26, p. 105), and here he built a warehouse and possibly a dwelling ; but in
1713 he sold the property. On April 15, 1713, he bought for £410. the
house and land upon the south-easterly side of Newbury St., later num-
bered 88 and 90 upon that street, and next to the comer of Essex St.
(Lib. 26, p. 102.) Here he lived to the end of his days, and the estate
passed to his son, and was divided among the heirs of the latter ; and the
larger part of it belongs today to the estate of a descendant, Aaron Charles
Baldwin (H. U. 1844), never having passed out of the family.
Andrew^ Cunningham married, probably in the latter part of the year
1685, Sarah Gibson, who was born in Boston, Feb. 5, 1665-6, and was
the eldest daughter of William Gibson, a Scotchman who had been many
years in Boston, and of his first wife Sarah Purchase.
They had nine children, whose births are in the Boston Records :
I. Sarah*, b. Sept. 6, 1686.
ii. Andrew, b. Nov. 29, 1688.
iii. Elizabeth, b. June 17, 1690; m. Nehemiah Loring, May 5, 1709.
2. Iv. Andrew, b. Aug. 19, 1692.
3. V. William, b. Nov. 17, 1694.
4. vi. David, b. Sept. 17, 1697.
vii. James, b. Feb. 15, 1698-9.
vlll. SAR.iH, b. Sept. 16, 1700; m. William Scott, March 17, 1718.
ix. John, b. March 26, 1702.
The family undoubtedly attended the First Church, as there are
one or two records of baptisms found there.
The writer has never determined the date of the death of Andrew
the father, or Sarah the mother. From real estate transactions, we
know that the latter was alive on April 18, 1713, and presume that
she must have died before Feb. 4, 1731, for on this latter date An-
drew transfers his homestead on Newbury St. to his son William,
who, with his wife, mortgages the same back to the father Andrew,
the condition being that they should maintain and support him dur-
ing the rest of his life. (Suffolk Deeds, Lib. 45, pp. 92 and 102.)
On Dec. 8, 1743, the son William made another transaction in this
property, and it is supposed that his father was no longer living at
that time.
As his property had thus been given to his children during his
life, no administration of his estate is upon record.
There is in the Suffolk County Probate Records the will of an
Andrew Cunningham who died in 1735, but he was probably some
stray mariner, and had no connection with this family.
The signature at the head of this article was taken from a bond
given to the Suffolk Probate Court, in the administration of the
estate of George Thomson, 1700. (See Records of Scots Chari-
table Society, for Feb., 1717.)

306 Andrew Cunningham of Boston. [July*
2. ANDREW UUKNINOHAM (An
Andrew' Cukninoham (Andrew^) was bom in Boston, 17 August,
1692, and died there, 27 April,
1752, and was buried in the Gran-
ary Burying-Ground.
He was a glazier like his father,
. . though in some instances called
^^^ Lf/ merdiant, and in the latter part
^^ " '^ of his life " gentleman."
He joined the Ancient and Honorable Artillerj Co. in 1720, and
in 1724 was fourth sergeant of the Co. At a town meeting held 11
March, 1722-3, he was chosen one of the Constables of Boston, and
sworn. (Roc. Com. Report, 8, page 168.)
At a meeting of the Justices, Selectmen and others at the Council
Chamber on 31 Jan., 1723-4, it was agreed to make the annual
visitation of the town on 14 Feb., and among those who thus acted
is found, in Precinct No. 6, "Andrew Cunningham, Const" (Rec.
Com. Report, 13, page 123.) Again in the year 1745-6, and in
the following year, he is one of those making the visitAtion, the
first year in ward eight and the second in ward nine, and in each
of these instances he is called " Capt" (Rec. Com. Report, 17,
pages 129, 153.) He was chosen one of the tax collectors of Bos-
ton for the years 1745, 1746 and 1747 (Rec. Com. Report, 14,
pages 71, 89, 114), and in April, 1745, we find that he appeared
before the Selectmen and " offered for his security Jacob Wendell
and John Hunt, Esq", who were accepted." (Rec. Com. Report,
17, p. 108.)
One of bis purchases of real estate was 14 March, 1727-8, when
he Iwiight of Nicholas Davis and Peter Luce land on Cornliill next
to the corner of School St., twenty-<iight feet front by tifty-eight feet
deep. (Suffolk Deeds, Lib. 42, page 31.) This estate, for which
he paid £463, was the northerly half of the land on the other half
of which stands the "Old Corner Book Store,'* and in this brick
house lived the purchaser, and after him his sons Andrew and John,
and his grandson John. Upon the death of tlie latter, who was un-
married, in 1822, the estate passed to his sister Susanna Lambert,
and was held by her heirs till Nov., 1898. (See Suffolk Deeds,
Lib. 2507, page 401.) The old house remained in substantially its
original form till the dose of the year 1900, when a new front
was put in the building.
Andrew^ Cunningham was married 25 March, 1714, by Rev. Ben-
jamin Wadsworth, to Mary, daughter of Richard and Abigail
Cheever of Boston. (See Cheevcr Family, Register, vol. 36, page
310.) She died some time after 2 Oct., 1719, and on 5 May, 1722,
he married second, Mary Hirst, who survived him. She died 14
July, 1774, aged 85, and was buried beside him in the Granary
Burying-Ground.
His will, dated 22 Dec, 1749, from which his signature is repro-
duced, mentions wife Mary, and children Mary, Andrew, Sarah and
John.
Children :
I. Abigail^ b. 6 July, 1715; d. young.
II. Mary, b. 2 March, 1717-8; m. 26 Feb.» 1738, Jonathan Greenleaf of
Bostou, and had three children : 1. Sarah, wife of Thomas Lynde
1901.] Andrew Cunningham of Boston, 307
of Worcester. 2. Mary, wife of Henry Davidson of Boston.
3. , wife of Clough of Boston; parents of Andrew Can-
ningham Cloasrh.
6. lii. Andrew, b. 2 Oct., 1719.

d. 29 April, 1768 ; no issue,
vli. Susanna, b. 30 Nov., 1728; d. young.
6. viil. John, b. 8 Oct., 1731.
The surname has become extinct in this line.
3. William^ Cunningham {Andrew^) was born in Boston, 17 Nov.,
1694, and died there 11 Nov., 1744.
He was in early life a glazier, and later styled "gentleman,"
and he may have been associated with a member of his wife's
family in trade, as the History of King*s Chapel, vol. 1, page 265,
reads, " 1718 Paid Wheeler & Cunningham, Glaziers, for mending
the windo £5 - 9." He lived in the old homestead on Newbury
St., near Essex St., wliich he had received from his father in 1731.
He was married 27 Nov., 1716, by Rev. Ebenezer Pemberton, to
Elizabeth, daughter of William Wheeler, who was son of Joseph
and grandson of Thomas Wheeler an early settler in Boston.
The Wheeler family lived on the comer of Newbury and Pond
Streets, and owned land running back to Wheeler's Pond. (See
Shurtleff's " Topographical and Historical Description of Boston,"
chapter 31.) The family worshipped at the Old South Church (See
Hist. Catalogue of the Old South Church, pub. 1883), and Sewall
often speaks of them in his diary.
At the town meeting held 5 May, 1725, William Cunningham
was chosen one of the constables, and sworn. (Rec. Com. Report,
8, page 191.)
He was one of the founders of Hollis Street Church, on 21 Jan.,
1730-1, and here he and many of his descendants worshipped.
Children :
i. William,^ b. 14 Feb., 1717-8: d. young.
7. ii. James, b. 24 April, 1721.
8. ill. William, b. 28 Sept., 1722.
iv. Elizabeth, b. 31 Oct., 1724; d. young.
V. Benjamin, b. 9 Jan., 1725-6; d. young,
vi. John, b. 8 Feb., 1727; d. before 1744.
vli. Elizabeth, b. 7 March, 1729; d. between 1744 and 1759.
vlii. Sarah, b. 18 Oct., 1732; d. between 1744 and 1759.
Ix. BBN.JAMIN, b. 14 April, 1735; d. before 1744.
0. X. Abigail, b. 11 July, 1739.
From the sons James' and William' come all those who still bear
the surname in this family, as far as is known to the writer ; al-
though there may be descendants of David,^ and possibly also of
John," the sons of Andrew,^ though the latter son probably died
young.
William* Cunningham died 11 Nov., 1744, intestate; and on 3
Dec. following, James and William, who were the only children
then of age, executed a release to their mother of all their right and
interest in their fjither's homestead and real estate during her widow-
hood, and for her support and the maintenance of her three minor
children, because of ** the great regard they have to the express com-
308 Andrew Cunningham o/BoHan. [Jnlj*
numdB of their Hon' Fatheor tho' not pat into writing, and also in
their filial dntj to thdr Hon' Mother EHzabelh Cunningham, and
in love to thdr sisters Elizabeth, Sarah and AfaigaiL" (Snffalk
Deeds, Lib. 70, page 175.)
The mother died 10 Maj, 1758, and in Jane, 1759, the real estate
was divided and set off to the only heirs then living, vis. : James,
the eldest son ; heirs of William, the son deceased ; and Abigail.
The homestead went to James. (Snffolk Probate Records, vol. 55,
page 100.) 6j this division was created a passaee-waj known as
N^dle's Alley, and later as Newbary Place, and bnilt over by the
Globe Theatre in 1866.
4. David* Clnxingham (Andrew^) was Umi in Boston 17 Sept, 1697.
He was married 13 Ang., 1719, by Rev. Benjamin Wadsworth, to
Sarah Chapman (Chapin?). From the Diaiy of Jeremiah Bam-
stead (Register, voL 15, page 202) it is learned that '' 1724 Jane
24 David Cunningham dyed in ye afternoon of a fever, about 9 days
from his being first taken ; & buryed on ye 26^ day ; carryed on
ye byer ; " and further in this Diary is found " 1724 Dec 11 David
Cunningham's widow married to David Norton, ship carpentor."
This last statement is undoubtedly wrong, and should have .been
*' Samuel, son of David Norton,*' for the Boston records give the
marriage, by Rev. Peter Thacher, on 11 Dec, 1724, of Sarah
Cunningham and Samuel Norton ; and later the births of their
children^ Samuel, William and David.
Children :
i. David,» b. 5 April. 1720.
il. Sarah, b. 21 Dec, 1721.
iii. Caleb, b. 13 Dec, 1722.
iv. CouNELius, b. 21 Nov., 1723.
This family entirely disappeared from Boston and vicinity, and
there seems to be no trace of them.
There was a Cornelius Cunningham who was a Justice of the
Peace for Prince George County, Maryland, in Jan., 1797. (See
Suffolk Deeds, Lib. 186, page 49.)
'). Andrew' Ccnningham {Aridrew,* Andrew^) was bom in Boston, 2
Oct., 1719. He was a hatter early in life, and in later years was
called " gentleman." He never married, but lived with his father
and brother at the homestead, 75 Comhlll. In 1733, his sister
Mary Greenleaf and he inherited property from their grandmother,
Abigail Cheever. He died 29 Dec, 1773, and his brother John
administered upon his estate.
6. John' Cunningham (Andrew* Andrew^) was born in Boston, 8 Oct.,
1731 ; and died there, 16 April, 1794. He lived in the homestead,
75 Comhill, and was called ** shopkeeper " and " merchant."
He married 26 April, 1757, Abigail, daughter of Robert and
Susanna (Cheever) Rand, and widow of Peter Newgar, mariner,
who died in 1752. She was bom 12 June, 1728, and died April,
1802. Her mother was a sister of the Mary Cheever who was first
wife of her husband's father, Andrew.'

William Lambert (Drake's »» The Town of Roxbury, etc.," pub. 1878,
page 361), and they lived in Roxbury on the Norfolk House hill, the
present Lambert Ave. being cut through the estate. Their mansion
is still standing (1901). They had four daughters : 1. Hannet, m.
William Blanchard. 2. Susanna, m. Capt. Nathaniel Dorr. 3. Char-
lotte, m. Peter Wainwright. 4. Lucy, m. Nathaniel Fellows.
ili. John, b. in Boston, 2 July, 1761 ; d. there 6 June, 1822. He lived in
the homestead, 76 Cornhill, and never married. He was styled in
directories " broker" and ** stockbroker," and had an office on State
St. He left what was considered for those times a large estate.
iv. Mary, b. in Boston, 25 June, 1763 ; d. there exactly one year later.
V. Mary, b. in Boston, 14 April, 1766; d. there in 1838; m. 19 Oct., 1789,
Edward Blanchard of Boston (Register, vol. 64, pages 317-318), and
had nine children: 1. Sarah, b. 1792; d. 1878; m. 1823, Lot Wheel-
wright, Jr. ; they were parents of Edward Wheelwright (H. U. 1844) ,
pres. of The Colonial Society of Massachusetts. 2. Caroline, b. 1802 ;
d. 1866; m. Josiah Wheelwright; they were parents of Andrew Cun-
ningham Wheelwright (H. U. 1847). 3. Edward, b. 1806; d. 1877;
unmarried. There were six more children, who died young.
The dates connected with this line (John*) are from the Cunning-
ham-Blanchard Bible, now in the possession of Andrew C. Wheel-
wright.
In 1776 and 1777, the State of Massachusetts ordered the select-
men of the various towns to make a return of the inhabitants tempo-
rarily living in their towns, and under the return of Worcester are
found the names of Andrew and John Cunningham, of Boston.
(See Mass. Archives, vol. 161, page 127.) They are probably
Andrew,* the oldest son (b. 1758), and either John' the father or
his son John, then sixteen years of age.

BERWICK (MAINE) MARRIAGES.
Communicated by Rev. Everett S. Stackpole, D.D., of Cambridge, Mass.
Within a short time, the original record of marriages kept by Rev.
Jeremiali Wise and his successors, as pastors of the Congregational church
at South Berwick, Maine, has been sent to Rev. George Lewis, the present
pastor of that church. It was sent by a descendant of Rev. John Thomp-
son. It is a small book, bound in vellum, and the record begins at the top
of the first page, without any introduction or heading. It was, doubtless,
the continuation of a previous record, which has been lost. The first date
ig 21 May, 1745. The marriages solemnized by Rev. Jeremiah Wise
down to March, 1712-13, are found on the Town Records of Kittery.
Soon after that date, the town of Berwick was set off from Kittery. Then
appear marriages on the Berwick Town Records down to 1726, most of
which were probably solemnized by Mr. Wise. Then no marriages appear
in the Town Records till 1756. A Book of Records has probably been
lost. Thus between 1726 and 1745 there is no record of marriages in
Berwick, either in the Town or the Church Records. There is a list of
marriages kept in the Bank at South Berwick, which is evidently a copy of
310 Berwick Marriage: [July,
the list kept by the paston from 1745 to 1828, and here preeented. That
copy has a few errors. The originali have been very carefally acratinued,
and the following list is believed to be accurate.

JOHN DANIELL OF MENDON, MASS., AND SOME OF
mS DESCENDANTS.
By Marion A. Kendall, of Ithaca, N. Y.
In Hinman's "Connecticut Settlers," the compiler of the Daniels
genealogies says : " The name was so early scattered in various
towns and colonies that it is now not only expensive but difficult
tracing the families." This agrees with my experience.
In Ballou's "History of Milford, Mass." (Milford was originally
a part of Mendon) , the compiler of the Daniels notes says : " There
seems only one general lineage of those of the Daniels name in this
section of the state. All are believed to be descendants of Robert
of Watertown." The records I have been tracing seem to indicate
that this conclusion is open to question.
In the original records I found the earliest names of the families
subjoined spelled JDaniell; later, in various records, the varied
spelling, Daniell, Daniells, Daniel, Daniels, Danill, Danills, was
found, often for the same individual, apparently according to the
ingenuity or the fancy of the scribe. The spelling Daniels seems
to have been adopted by all the later families of this line.
1. JoHN^ Daniell first appears on the records of Sherbom, Mass., so
far as I have been able to find. He married there Sarah Durham, April 5,
1699, and resided there untiri711. Their children, as appear from Sher-
bom records, and from the Worcester County Registry of Deeds, were :
Sarah, John, Anne, Samuel and Abraham.
I have not yet been able, with much careful search, to gain any infor-
mation as to the earlier history of this John Daniell. No John seems to be
found in the records of any of the Daniell families of Massachusetts prior
to this time, except in the William Daniell family of Milton, and careful
study seems to prove that this John of Sherborn cannot belong there.
Morse's " History of Sherborn and Holliston,'* mentioning this John
Daniell, says of him, "pr. bro. of Robert of Sherborn" (for whom see
" The Daniell Family," by Moses Grant Daniell, Register, Vol. xxviii.,
p. 185). There appears to be no confirmation of this surmise, since in the
settlement of the estate of Samuel, father of Robert of Sherborn (Suffolk
Probate Records), there is no mention of a John, and those who have
studied that line most thoroughly do not include this John in any branch of
it. Morse also says in his notes, " John Daniell of Sherbom was selling land
in W. Med. to Hope Leland in 1711." I have not yet been able to find
any record of such a deed, which, if found, might perhaps give some clue.
Morse's list of the children is incorrect. (See Sherbom Town Records.)
Many of the older Daniels families of Mendon have had a tradition that
their earliest ancestors in this country came from Wales.
In the Worcester County Registry of Deeds, John Daniell appears first
as grantee. Samuel Cook of Mendon, in 1711, sold land in Mendon to
John Daniell of Sherborn. This deed is dated April 13, 1711, and recorded
May 23, 1732. (Lib. lU., 43.)
318 John Daniell ofMendan^ Mobs. [Jolj,
John DanieUy soon after this porchasey romoyed to Mendon, dnce his
name appears in the division of die town lands of Mendon in ITIS, and
later. His name appears in the above Registry as grantor, several times
from 1717 to 1748. His deeds to his children and grandchildren are made
'' in consideration of love and affection and anxiety for their well-being."
I found no record of him later than 1743. A deed in the Suffolk Coun^'
Registfy, 1729, indicates that he was probably a tanner.
In all records after 171 1, he is known as ''John Daniell of Mendon."

2. John' Daxiell [Johvi^) of Mendon ("John Daniel, Jr., of Mendon"),
was born in Sherbom, April 8, 1708. He married, about 1724,
SaraJi, widow of Timothy Winter, 2d, of Meudon, and lived in
Mendoi) till his death, about 1733. Probate records call him a hus-
bandman. The letter of administration. May 8, 1733, names the
widow, Sarah Daniell, as administratrix. Inventory, 196 pounds
sterling.
In the Worcester Registry is recorded a deed, dated Sept. 2,
1726, at Providenca, 11. 1., from John Daniell, husbandman, and
wife Surah, of Mendon, Mass., which refers to Court Records. The
recoi-ds referred to are of " John Daniell, Jr., of Mendon, Suffolk
Co., an<l Sarah his wifi?, late Sarah Winter, widow." (Supreme
Court Records of Suffolk County, July, 1725.)
The widow, Sarah Daniels (Daniell), married Woodland Thomp-
son of Uxbridge, Jan. 16, 17^.!); and Feb. 4, 1735, Sarah Thomp-
son, "wife of Woodland Tliompson, and formerly wife of John
Daniels, deceased," was appointed guardian of the ** only son John,
a minor of nearly ten years." Other minors named are : Mary
Daniels, 7 yrs., Rachel Daniels, 5 yrs., and Sylome Daniels, 3 yrs.
Later, Capt. Robert Taft was guardian of the daughters, Mary and
Rachel. Did the widow Sarah Thompson marry Abiel Lyon, and
remove to Pomfret, Conn. ? See Worcester Deeds, Lib. Iv., 463.

1730, and resided in Mendon till his deatli, about 1746. He was a
housewright. He seems to have served in the French War, in
1745. Sarah Daniells, widow, Wiis appointed administratrix of the
estate of Samuel Daniells of Mendon, dec'd, Aug. 21, 1746.
Inventory, £114«5., — mentions " gun, Brest plate, pistols, holsters,

Abigail, before 1742. He was a physician, and removed from
Mendon to Uxbridge, where he resided till his death, Dec. 16,
1752. His widow, Abigail Daniels, removed to Douglas, Mass. ;
and later to Dutchess Co., N. Y., before 1765. In Worcester Deeds
is recorded a deed from Dr. John Daniels of Oblong, Dutchess Co.,
N. Y., dated June 29, 1765, to Joseph Reed of Uxbridge, of " land
in Uxbridge which I had from my honored father. Dr. Abraham

5. John' Daniels (Daniell) {Jolm^ John^) of Mendon, was bom in
Mendon, Nov. 3, 1725. He was a farmer, and resided in Mendon
on the homestead left him by his father and grandfather, John
Daniell. He was half-brother to Christopher Winter and Timothy
Winter, 3d, of Mendon. He married, in 1746, Margaret Boyce,
whose father, William Boyce, was for many years the schoolmaster
of Mendon, and whose mother, Bethiah, was the youngest daughter
of Samuel llayward, one of the earliest settlers of Mendon. He
married, in 1762, a second wife, Lydia Putnam of Sutton, Mass.,
widov/ of Elisha Putnam, the oldest brother of Gen. Rufus Putnam.
John Daniels died in 1767 (Worcester Probate Records), leaving
widow Lydia Daniels, sons Increase, John, William, and Antipas,
and daughters Bethiah, Silence and Rachel. The widow was ad-
ministratrix, and guardian of the infant son Antipiis. Turner Ellis
was guardian of other minor children. Inventory, £355.
Widow Lydia Daniels married Joseph Sadler of Uxbridge, in
1772.
In Worcester Deeds, Lib. xxi., 453, is recorded a deed from
Sarah Thompson, widow, to ** my dutiful son, John Daniels of
Mendon," of her rights in the homestead of his father, John
Daniell, "land and dwelling now in possession of my son, and next
to the land left to my son and his sisters by their grandfather, John
Daniell."

6. JoHN^ Daniels (John* Jokny* John^)y of Mendon, Mass., and Ches-
terfield and Plainfield, N. H., was bom in Mendon, Dec. 13, 1755.
His father and mother both died before he was twelve years old.
Tradition says diat he had ran away from his home and was in
Boston in the Boston Tea Party. The records show that he served
with Massachusetts troops and New Hampshire troops in the
Revolution. He vras one of the minute-men in the Uxbridge Com-
pany on the Lexington Alarm ; and he enlisted in the Eight Slonths'
army, and served during the siege of Boston, 1775-6. Early in
1777 he, with his brother Increase, went to Chesterfield, N. H.,
and in June, 1777, he enlisted from there in the 3d N. H. Regi-
ment. This regiment was in Gen. Poor's Division at the Battle
of Saratoga, and was at Valley Forge with Washington's army.
The names of John Daniels, Increase Daniels, and Silas Rich-
ardson, of Chesterfield, are among the signers to the memorial to
the N. H. legislature in Aug., 1781, to protest against the union of
N. H. towns with the state of Vermont, during the troubles over
the N. H. Grants.
John Daniels married in Chesterfield, N. H., March 9, 1780,
Zipporah (Pierce or Allen?). Family records give the name
Pierce ; Chesterfield records give the name Allen. I have not yet
been able to clear up this question. He resided in Chesterfield till
1801, when he removed to Plainfield, where he lived until his
death, Feb. 8, 183;3. His wife, Zipporah Daniels, died in Plainfield,
Aug. 28, 182'J, aged (54 yrs. He acquire<l large property for those
times, and was intiumtial and respected. Older residents of that lo-
cality relate that he wa8;called by his fellow-townsmen "Sir Daniels."
He married, late in life, a second wife, iVIrs. Mary (Kimball-
Roberts) True, who survived him. (Randall's History of Ches-
field gives a brief account of this family, containing some errors.)

3. John Loomis, of Salem, married Mary*, daughter of William^ and
Sarah Trask, who was baptized 1 Jan., 1636-7. The first mention
of him on the records is in 1660, when he petitions for a ** small
enlardgment to his house near to Edward Gascoins, 13, 6 mo. 1660."
This is granted, and " According to ord"^ Sergt J°** Porter & Edm
Batter have layde out to him from his now Dwelling house About
sixteen Roods between the two ways towards the towne of Salem."
(Town Records, p. 9.)
He is styled seaman in a deed dated 10 Jan., 1667, wherein he
buys land of John Williams, situated in the north field near Capt.
Traske's mills — " aboute thirty ackers more or less." (Essex County
Deeds, v. 3 : p. 75.) In 1676 he is associated with William Traske,
as an appraiser on the estate of Thomas Alexander. He was taxed
in 1 684, and probably died within two years afterwards.
In 1700, Mary Loomis, widow of John Loomis, and John his only
eon, sell to Mr. John Trask, miller, " land belonging to Our home-
stead being y® whole piece about 30 rodd." (Essex County Deeds,
V. 14 : p. 250.) Children :
1. Mary, b. 16 Dec, 1659.
ii. John, d. 1728.
It has been believed that Mary Trask married a Batter, — Savage says
** probably Daniel." A bond given by William Traske in February, 1685-
6, for the exact amount, £*26., which was left to her in her father's will,
strengthens that belief ; but the following copy of an original document in
the writer's possession, shows that she was a widow Loomis, and the daugh-
ter of William Traske.

Further, a deposition given by Mary LoomiSy 18 Joly, 1695, in coimeo-
tion with Edward Flint, aged about fifty-seven, and John Trask, aged about
fifty^hree^ states her age as about '^ fifty Eight." This correiqxmda with
the date of baptism of Capt William Traske s daughter Mary. The Mrs.
Marr Batter to whom William Traske |^ve his bond 2 Feb. 1685-6, ^ for
the full sum of twenty and six pounds in corant mony," was undoubtedly
the widow of Edmund Batter, a foremost citizen of Salem, who died in
1685. He made his wife executrix of his will, and gave her what was due,
'' by Bills, bonds, or book debts." She was the daughter of Maj.-Gen.
Daniel Gookin, and was married 8 June, 1670, to Mr. Edmund Batter. A
careful search of the Salem records has failed to reveal another Mary Bat-
ter of that period, or to show evidence that this was the name of Mary
Trask's husband.
4. Samuel Aborn*, son of Samuel and Catherine (Smith) Abom of
Salem, was bom in 1 639. He was a husbandman, and resided in
Salem. He married, 19 Feb., 1663, Susanna', daughter of William^
and Sarah Trask, who was baptized 10 June, 1638. His will was
made 18 April, 1720, and probated 30 June, 1721 ; it contaios no
mention of his wife. (Essex County Probate, v. 313 : p. 314.)
Children :
i. Samuel', b. 1 July, 1664.

5. William^ Traskb, son of William^ and Sarah Traske, was baptised
in the First Church in Salem, 19 Sept., 1640. He married (1) IB
Jan., 1GG6, Ann, daughter of Lieut. Thomas and Ann (Holyoke)
Putnam, of Salem. She was born in Lynn, 25 Aug., 1645, and
died in Salem, 14 Nov., 1676. His second wife was Anna.
He resided in his native town, and followed the trade of a miller.
He was a soldier in Philip's War, and for his services, his heirs re-
ceived a grant of land in Narragansett No. 3, Souhegan West ; now
the town of Amherst, N. H. It is somewhat uncertain whether or
not he occupied the homestead, for in 16G8, says Mr. Felt in his
Annals of Salem, v. 2 : p. 215, " William Trask agreed to give him
(John Mason) 158. a year for the use of his house and land. Pay-
ments of this rent were to be ^ on the day of St. John Baptist's na-
tivity, and on the feast-day of our Lord's nativity ; ' " and in 1672
he sells to his brother John " that my pt of the dwelling house he
now possesseth the which house was by our father's legacy willed
between us." (Essex County Deeds, v. 5 : p. 214.)
* This name is sometimes written Ebbome or Ebume.

Prior to 1682, however, he erected a new house with a massive
oak (rame, " a relic of the aboriginal forest," It has been a family
tradition for 200 years that the house was built in 1 680, and that
it was called the " Black Horse Tavern," from the sign of a black
horse which it bore. In 1690, William Traske was recommended
^^ ^^ * for innkeeper, and the house re-
X/^mT" iH iLj$Wt.fy^ mained as an inn until about 1740.

set off to Danvers, and the house, illustrations of which are given,
was occupied by his descendants until within thirty years, Isaac

of the Revolution, 1776, at which time it came into possession of the
Trask family. It kept good time until about the year 1855 ; and
in 1871 it was presented to the Essex Institute, Salem, by William
Blake Trask.

Salem the 14**» November 1694 To Hon"* Bartholomew Esq' judge of the pro-
bate of wills for the county of Essex The Humble petition of vs whose names
are under writen most Humbly sheweth that wee Have taken as an exact account
as possibly wee can of the Depts and Creditts of our late dearly beloved Freind
William Trask late of Salem Deceased and wee finde the Inventory of his whole
Estate both Reall and personall to amount to the sume of 413-02-00 Whereof
we find the Reall Estate or houseings lands meadows and mill to amount to the
sume of 350" the Rest of the Estate being In cattle and household goods and

John Trask 1
6. John' Trask, second son of William^ and Sarah Trask, was baptized
in Salem, 18 Sept., 1642. He married (1) 19 Feb., 1662, AbigaC,
daughter of Elias and Bridget Parkman. He married (2) 13 Feb.,
1717-18, Mary Clarke.
He early learned his father*s trade of miUer, and became an enter-
prising business man. ''The town intended to grant leave for
another mill to be set upon South River in 1663 ; but John Trask
so engaged for his father to grind the corn of the inhabitants or

from the file of a casa in court, and taken in relation to the removal
of a honse by nighty may be of interest in this connection :

GENEALOGICAL GLEANINGS AMONG THE ENGLISH
ARCHIVES.
Communicated by J. Hsnbt Lea, Esq.
[Continued from page 106.]
Bristol Apprentice Books.
These inyalaable records preserved at the Council House at Bristol are
rightly guarded with jealous care by the custodians, and it was only with
considerable difficulty that I obtained access to them, thanks to the influence
of His Excellency our Ambassador in England, the late Lord Bishop of
London,* Senator Hoar, Alderman Hall of Bristol, and others, whose kind
endorsements proved an " Open Sesame ! " to the Treasure House, and to
whom I am under deep obligation for the great privilege of being admitted
to what is probably the first thorough examination of these priceless rec-
ords. To Mr. Lane, the courteous Treasurer of the City, and his assistants
I am also under deep obligation for unfailing courtesy and patience during
the weeks spent in their examination.
The series, as preserved, dates from 1532 ; but the earlier pages of the
first volume are so mutilated that it is impossible to ^-x. the exact date of
the earliest entry. They continue in almost unbroken series down to our
own time, and the pages teem with information regarding every part of the
kingdom, the Bristol of that day ranking little if at all below die City of
London in trade and commerce, and youths of all grades of society, (younger
sons of gentry as well as yeomen,) were sent to the busy city of the West
to learn a trade and develop later into members of the great body of
merchants who had made, and were making, Bristol rich and famous.
Hundreds of pages of my note books are filled with extracts which as
yet I have been unable to classify or index, and many of which I may have
the pleasure in future of laying before the readers of the Register ; but
the direct references to America are few until we reach the sixth volume,
in which, for the first time, we find a number of entries of apprentices
bound to go abroad. Unfortunately this volume, to us the most full of
interest of the series, is the most defective of all. The first 41 pages have
perished, the first entry being 21 June, 1660, and leaving a gap from Vol.
lv,t which ends in December, 1658, of about eighteen months. Pages 42
to 53, inclusive, cover the period from 21 June to 25 November, 1660 ; then
another gap to page 246, which begins 6 April, 1668, and runs to page 324
where the book ends at 23 March, 1 669. Volume vii. is not paged, but be-
gins 16 May, 1670, (showing a loss of two months in one or both books,)
* I cannot print these lines without more than a passing word of gratitude to the Right
Reverend Mandell Creighton, first of English historical scholars and most courteous
of English gentlemen, to whose ready and helpful kindness I owe so much of what
success has attended my labors abroad during the past fifteen years. From the freedom
of the Bodleian Library, which was the first, to the help accorded me at Bristol, which
was the last, I was under constant obligation for favors received which I have a mel-
ancholy pleasure in acknowledging in this brief but sincere tribute to his memory.
t Vol. V. has utterly disappeared.
332 Oleaninga from £ngl%$h Arehivea. [Jol^f
and nrns on without a break to the end of Vol. yiiL in Jannary, 1671 ; this
is interrapted by Vol. ix., 1670-1684) (the latter having no i^rentioes
bound beyond sea,) but the ktter again interrapted by YoT. x., 1676-1 677,
and Vol. xi., 1 677-1 684. There is a break of three years to the next Vol.
(xii.), and from this time the foreign entries are discontinued.
The entries which follow are ti£en from Vols. vi. to xL inclusive, and I
think comprise every reference to New England contained in them. There
are very many, I tMnk hundreds, of references to Virginia, Bermuda and
the different West India Islands, with which Bristol was in closer touch
than with oar colony ; but lack of time, already far overrun in my stay in
Bristol, made it impossible for me to take them all, and I was forc^ to con-
tent myself with those mentioned and a few whose names had a special in-
terest and meaning to me. I have strongly urged upon the genUemen of
the Council and the Lord Mayor of the City, (to whom my discoveries in
their records came somewhat in the light of a revelation,) the advisability
of printing them verbatim, and, as my suggestion seemed to be favorably
received, it may be that they will some day be made accessible to all in this
way, and preserved in enduring type for the use of future generations of
genealogists.

} Can this John Batchellor have been tho freeman of 1670, mentioned by Savage,
who died at Reading in 1705 ? John Norman cannot be either the John of Salem, 1^1,
and Marblehead 16«, who died at Salem 1673, or the later John of same place, son of
Richard, who died 1713, aged 67. Of John Bowen or John Owen {quere^ if not the same
man f) I find no trace in New England, and it seems probable that these were really
Virginia emigrants.
II Newton 18 a notable Virginia name, and it may well be that this Basswell Newton
should give ns a clue to the parentage, hitherto vainly sought, of George Newton

have come from Barbadoes. See also under apprenticeship of William, son of Brian.

worth Tollowing up, and I shall perhaps have more to say of the Aldens tiereafter.
Jeremy Clark is certainly not identical with the Jeremiah Clark who was of Newport
in 1640, nor does it seem possible that this could have been the latter's son of the same
name, returning to New England. Neither can I identify Anthony Sloper; Kichard
Sloper of Dover 1657, who died 1716, being the only one of the name mentioned by
Savage.
• This is probably John Dale who was of Salem in 1682, and died 9 Feb., 1700. John
Harris of Boston, who man'ied20 Mar., 1675, Susanna Brcck of Dorchester, is probably
identical with this apprentice, as he would then have been just released.
t A John Mason was of Norfolk, Virginia, in January, 1640. See Lower Norfolk
Ck)urt Records, Vol. I., fo. 64«>.
t Thomas Hungerford may perhaps be the Thomas Hungerford of Hartford and
Haddam, Conn., son of Thomas of tne same who died in I6b3. Thomas tho son was
bom about 1648, and so would have been 23 years of ago in 1671. The name is so un-
usual that this might well be the same, although called of Virginia. I am engaged in
an exhaustive stuay of the Hungerfords, and may be able later to clearly identify this
man. There was a Thomas Hunjgerford, son or Henry and Eleanor (Stevens) Hun-
gerford, baptized at St. James, Bristol, 14 Dec. 1616; he was apprenticed 28 Nov. 1631,
to John Hoome, Jr.. carpenter, and married 20 April 1640, to Mary White at St. James;
he had children— Elizabeth, bapt. 10 Feb. 1640-1, Ann, 7Aug. 1642, and William, 24 Mar.
1643, all at same Clmrch, and after that date his name disappears from the Registers ;
but he can hardly be identical with the first Thomas of Hartford, unless Savage is in
error in locating him there so early as 1639. Perhaps, however, the Thomas of New
London, 1650, was another man and, if so, very prooably identical with the Bristol

• This cannot be either the Phillip Cooke of Cambridge, 1647, who died 1667, or his
son of same name, bapt. there 5 May, 1661 ; as the latter would have been bat 17 years of
age in 167S.
t The Pickfords are a well known family of Cheshire and Derby. They came to
America late in the I8th ceutiiry, and settled m Maine. Sec under Jeddiah Pickford, 1609,
for notes concerning them. The West Indian connection hero shown is interesting,
as Thomas Pickford, half-brother of John, the Maine emig^nt, was a planter in Trim-
dad, and died there in 1805.
X This is probably the Thomas Moore of Boston, mariner, who died in 1690, as noted
by Savage.
! Christopher Talbott was of Boston, tanner, in 1G86.
I am making an exhaustive study of the interesting family of Hopton, but am un-
c, as yet, to place this George Hopton. The name is very unasual in the family. I
should bo glad to know if he has loft descendants in Maryland.
51 The C^irys of Virginia are a very well known family, founded in this conntry by
Miles Cary of Bristol, son of John and Alice (Ilobsou) Carv, who was in Virginia as
early as IWO. Thomas Cary is probably the second son- of Miles, who died m \70S,
aged 60 years. I fail to ^lace George Cary in the pedigree — perhaps Virginia Records
may help in this. I am inclined to believe that John Care of Barbadoes, distiller, de-
ceased in 1683, was identical with John Cary of Bristol (brother of Miles) who dis-
appears from the Bristol records after 1660. I have a singularlv perfect pedigree of
this old Bristolian stock from William Cary, Sheriff of Bristol, 1552, and Mayor 1546.
Of this family was also James Cary, merchant, of Charlestown, 1647, according to
Stow MS., 070, fo. 229-30. lie was son of William and Alice (Goodal) Cary, and was
bapt. at St. Nicholas, Bristol, 14 April, 1600; he married Eleanor llawkins, and had
one son, Robert, bapt. 9 March, 102.5, and buried 5 March, 1626, at St. Stepheii^s,
Bristol; his other children being probably born here. Ho died 2 Nov. 1681, aged 81,
which fact, as well as the name of nis wife, accords with Stow MS.

1652. George, sonn of Marmaduke Williams, of St. Steevens parish buried Febnianr 21.

(naute) and Martha his wife. [See note, page 334.]
The foregoing concludes the direct American references contained in the
Apprentice Books, so far as covered by my notes, but the following entries,
selected at random from my still unindexed note books, will give an idea of
the scope and great value of these records.
1657. Cezar Rodney son of William Rodney, of Catcott, co.
15 August Somerset, Gent., apprenticed to William Tippet of Bris-
tol, Haberdasher, and {blank) his wife.
This William Rodney was the fourth and youngest surviving son of Sir
John Rodney, Knt, of Rodney St<^e, Somst, by his wife Jane, daughter
of Sir Henry Seymour, Knt, (brother of Edward, Duke of Somerset, and
of Queen Jane Seymour.)* He was bom about 1610, and having married
Alice, daughter of Sir Thomas Caesar, Knt, Baron of the Exchequer, had
by her Anthony, Caesar, William, and probably other children. Anthony
was a colonel in the army, and was grandfather of George-Brydges Rodney,
the famous English admiral ; Cassar seems to have remained in Bristol ; and
William, who was bom about 1 652, became a convert to Quakerism, and came
to America with William Penn in 1682, settled in Kent County, Delaware,
and, through his son Ctesar, was grandfather of Caesar Rodney, bom 7 October,
1728, delegate to the Continental Congress and signer of the Declaration
of Independence, for the State of Delaware. I shall have more to say of
this interesting family when my collection of their wills is completed.
The William llodney already citedf may be confidently identified with the
father of our American emigrant, and the Barbadoes connection there shown
may give a clue to further and valuable information concerning the family
when the island records are examined.
The Registers of Christ Church, Bristol, show the following entries :
1660. March 14. William sonn of William Rodney and Rachel his wife
bapt.t
1666. April 8. Alice daughter of Cesar Rodney by his wife Sarah bapt§
1 688. June viij. Anthony Thatcher, son of Peter Thatcher, late of Range-
worthy CO. Glouc, Tanner, apprenticed to John Poyte
of Bristol, Pipemaker, and Barbara his wife.
The above entry struck me at once as of great possible value in giving a
clue to the hitherto vexed question of the paternity of Rev. Peter Thacher
of Sarum, and his brother Anthony, which has been so long and vainly
sought for in Wilts, and Somerset, as we have here a most significant com-
♦ A veij interesting I7th century Genealogy of this family, written by Sir Edward
Rodney, Knt., elder brother of William, has just been printed in the Genealogist^ n. s..
Vol. xvi., 207, Vol. xvii., 6 and 100.
t See apprenticeship of Thomas Clement in 1670, page 332, ante.
J I do not with certainty identify this William, who can hardly bo the father of our
emigrant, married to a second wife ; as at this period the custom of giving two or
more sons the same Christian name had fortunately fallen into disuse.
$ This is clearly the Cssar of the apprenticesliip of 1657, married and settled in
Bristol.

a prosperous merchant of Bristol, and whose position in the pedigree it
well assured by his own and his brother's wills which follow :

Tlie following, the only other entry of the name found in these books,
seems to be of an altogether different family :
1548. Thomas Pytchforde, son of Thomas Pytchforde of Pres-
xxix September. ton, co. Salop, husbandman, apprenticed to Roger
Bailie and Helen his wife {no trade named).
1503. 8 November — William Newton, son of Brian Newton of lancaster
in CO. Lancaster, apprenticed to John Griffith of
the city of Bristoll, grocer, and (Uank) his wife, for
9 years.
As has been mentioned under Basswell Newton, in 1670,t there was a
George Newton who appeared at Norfolk, Va., in 1670, and beUeved to
have come to America via Barbadoes. He was a yom)g man on his arrival,
and then unmarried, but before 1678 he had married Frances, daughter of
Lemuel Mason, a leading citizen, and died in 1694. His eldest son George
was sent to school at Lancaster in England, as we learn from a deposition
of bis in 17384 and the inference is a natural one that his father came
from that neighborhood.
Brian Newton, the father, was son of Edmund Newton of Lancaster,
IVIercer, by Isabel! his wife, daughter of William Curwen, Mayor of Lancas-
ter, and was bapt. there 1 March, 1 and 2 Phillip and Mary. From the will

Bristol but returned to Lancashire, and died there, evidently unmarried, in

In connection with this will it may be noted that the Hull Act Books

Quaker botanist, who was born at Gratton in Derbyshire in 1669 and came
to America in 1700. His cousin, John Marshall of Elton (both in parish of
Youlgrave), had preceded him, coming to Philadelphia in the ship " Desire "

Cook.— Mr. WiUtara H. TlUinghast, Assistant Librarian of Harvard College,
has sent me a copy of the following letter, which will explain itself. I know of
no better way to perpetuate the facts therein contained than to print them among
the Notes of the Bkgisteb.
Whitsione Rectory, Exeter, 11 Maxch, 1901.
Dear Sir : *
Sabine, American Loyaliats, 1847, p. 227 : Thomas iTie Cook was I believe
not an American.
I own a farm 6 miles from Exeter, in the parish of Tedbam St. llary, which, by the
title deeds, belonged, Feb. % 1784, to—
'* Thomas Ivie Cook, a reduced Ckptain of Caralry in his Majesty's first American
regiment of Qaeen*» Kangers."
From the army lists of that period, which I have consulted at the British Mnseom,
it seems that the regiment only existed for about a year : 1782.
From another deed I see that a Mr. Ivie, a brewer of Exeter, lent monej on the farm
on mortgage in 1771 ; and it seems likely that Captain Ivie Cook acquired the farm
through nim.
Exeter at that time had connections in trade with the West Indies ; and I think Gap-
tain Cook, though an Englishman, accepted a commission in a nominally American but
loyalist corps, to strengthen the English cause ; but I hardly think ho had any other
connection with the States.
I write only in the interest of accurate history ; but being unacquainted with anv one
across the Atlantic, I have written to yourself as most likely to be able to forward this
little historical note to the quarter where it is likely to be best appreciated.
I remain, vours sincerely,
The Librarian, (fiev.) John B.*Pear80N.
Harvard College.
It Is iutcrcstiD<; to note that Mr. Sabine, iu the second edition of his American
Loyalists, gives the name as Thomas Joie Cook. Facts of an antiquarian charac-
ter, like these contained in Mr. Pearson's letter, arc often important to investi-
gators, but are difficult to find when wanted. Samuel A. Gheek.
Archbishop Grindall*8 Heirs— A Correction.— In the Register of Jnly,
1884 (xxxviii: 302), >vas published (In Latin) the decision given 18 May, 1609,
in a suit concerning the estate of Edmund Griiidall, late Archbishop, deceased,
between three children of the Archbishop's niece Katharine (Woodhall) Wilson,
parties of the first part, and the executor and the other grandnephews and gprand-
nieces of tlic Archbishop, parties of tlie second part. The last seven namea
mentioned are printed : *' Edraundnm Willson, William WUlson, Johannem Will-
son, Tliomam Willson, Mariam Wlllson, Marlam Sheafe et Isabcllam Wlllson.'*
These were the children of the Archbishop's niece, Isabel (Woodhall) Wilson,
wife of liev. Dr. William Wilson, and evidently the name Mariam Wlllson is an
error for Margaretam, — for we have proof that Rev. Dr. William Wilson had
seven children living on 18 May, 1G09, and that these were Edmund, John,
Thomas, Margaret and Isabel, named In his will of 26 Aug., 1613 (Rkgister,
xxxvlll : 30G) ; William, *' Who, after a long Trial of grievous Sickness, did
comfortably yield up his Spirit in the Yeare of our Lord 1610" (Register,
xxxvlll : 307) ; and Mary Sheafe, the wife of Dr. Thomas Sheafe, who was
buried at Welford, July 16, 1613 (Register, Iv: 2U), and whose husband is
called son-iu-law In her father's will. A. D. Hodges, Jr.
RossiTER. — My attention has been called to two errors in the article on the
Rosslter family in the April Register. The grandson of Dr. Brj'an Rossiter re-
ferred to, page 160, line 10, was Josiah not John Cotton, and the date of the mar-
riage of Joanna Rosslter to Rev. John Cotton should be 1660, and not 1670.

Sampson. — Can any one tell me the names of the parents and ancestors of
Buth Sampson of Duxbury, Mass., who married, in 1720, John Fullerton of
Marshficld? There were several Ruths in the Sampson family, and it is hard
to establish the identity of the one in question. I think that her mother was a
Standish, because of similarity of names of her children, Mercy, Alethea, Mary,
Ann, Ruth, John, and William, and Standish family names, and because three of
the five men of the Sampson family of the second generation married women of
the Standish family, about the time of her birth.
Carey-North.— Also ancestry of Elihu Carey, a Revolutionary soldier, of
Orange Co., N. Y., and his wife Catharine Norths whom he married in Orange

is believed to have been De Voe.

in 1889, abridged and accompanied by the results of later research, are used in
this volume as introductory to the Letter-Books of Thomas Amory, who became
a resident of Boston in 1720, and of his sons, Jonathan and John, also of Bos-
ton. Following these are chapters on ** Heraldry** and " Other Amory Fami-
lies." A ** List of Authorities,** covering twenty-four pages, is designed to sub-
stantiate every statement in the family records, and to name the places where
such proof can be found, all the authorities adduced having been inspected by
the editor. At the end of the volume is a pedigree, ** The Amory Family of
Boston, 1720-1897,** by George Ticknor Dexter. It is hardly necessary to say
that paper, print and illustrations are of the highest grade, the press at which
the book was made invariably ensuring it. The editor has produced in this
l>ook a work of public as well as of private interest.

Beckxcith Notes. With some Account of Allied Familirs. Number Three. [Com-
piled by A. C. and E. S. Beckwith.] Elkhorn, Wisconsin. 8vo. pp. G4.
From a statement at the end of these ** Notes " we learn that of the probable
seven thousand descendants of Matthew Beckwith about four thousand are yet
unrecorded, and also that the four hundred names in this work which are like-
wise found In ** The Beckwiths," published at Albany, 1891, are not derived from
that genealogy, nor, indeed, are any of the materials of tlie present publication.
A complete index Is supplied for this number of the valuable series, which we
have reason to believe will be continued, as the compilers declare that '* the
work of collecting data is but begun.*'

The frontispiece of this volume is a fine hcllotype of Powder House Rock, a
spot of almost sacred interest to the inhabitants of Dedham, and which the re-
searches of Mr. Akien prove to be located on the farm which for live genera-
tions belonged to the Batons of Dedham. The author's principal object, indeed,
is to show tiie place of the original homestead of this family, which is con-
clusively indicated by the documents cited, the important pas-»ages of which are
in heavy type. The genealogical portion of the work includes the Eatons of
Needham as well as those of Dedham, giving a complete record of both branches.
The book is beautifully printed and bound, and is furnished with a thorough
index.

The two branches of the descendants of William Wood of Concord, that of
New England and that of Pennsylvania — the latter the posterity of Samuel
Wood, who removed to East Sraithfield, Peun., In 1809 — about equally share the
pages of this work. Its plan Is original with the compiler, and, with the lucid
explanations supplied, is Intelligible at a glance. The use of dlff'ercnt sorts of
type Is well contrived, the names of husband and wife being specially empha-
sized In this manner. There are several biographical sketches. In some cases
of considerable length. The second part, entitled ** Historical Information,
War Records, etc.,** comprises more than forty pages, and Includes services In
the Spanish-American war, closing with an account of the reunions of the

Memorial of the Hon. John Alsop King, Eighteenth President of the New York
Historical Society. By the Very Rev. Euobnr A. Hoffman. Read before
the Society, Feb. 6, 1901. New York : Printed for the Society. 1901. 8vo.
pp. 26.

jear of his age. He became a member of the New York Historical Society in
1881, and in 1887 was elected its President, being thereafter annually re-elected
to the office. As he was of distinguished ancestry, a large portion of Dean
Hoffman's tribute is allotted to names of the past, while due space is neverthe-
less devoted to the beneHcent life of the subject of the memorial.

A thoroughly enjoyable book, showing the votes and arguments on momentous
questions by the North Carolina planter, simple, independent, conscientious, an
ideal representative and Southern Rebublican, and also reproducing letters from
his pen which, by their plain style, good sense and religious tone, prove that
Randolph's eulogium, '*the best, purest and wisest man I ever saw," although
extravagant, was in large measure deserved. The notes arc copious and very
helpful.

In this pamphlet the career of the greatest exponent of the principles of the
greatest tribunal ever created is concisely, clearly and entertainingly described.
It would be difficult to find in the compass of so few pages another account of
John Marshall in every way as good. Only a miniature, indeed, as is designed
by its author, but as such it is a faithful portrait of one who, as soldier, lawyer,
statesman, diplomat and judge, was so true to the claims made upon him in
eAch capacity as to render each of them a special element in his fame.

Grafton Co., N. H., and Rhoda Crosson of Bedford Co., Penn., both of whom

of which it treats.

This Is a paper of great Interest, giving a history of the origin and activities
of the minute men In general, and of those of Concord in particular. That the
original roll of Capt. Charles Miles* Minute Men of Concord, which once might
have become the town's possession for tvventy-flve dollars, fell by auction to a

gre&t credit on its compiler, as it brings to public notice a large number of

Tlie papers in this pamphlet constitate a most delightful account of the ancient
house occupied by the Ipswich Historical Society, which is pronounced the
moat strikius: specimen now extant of very early seventeenth-century architec-
ture. Lilce the stately Parisian chfiteau to which it is likened in the use -which
it serves, and in its si<^niflcance to the neighborhood, it is preserved in the exact
aspects of the primitive days, and is stored with relics and curios illustrating
the colonial mode of life. Tlie house was a pretentious mansion in its time,
belonging to John Whipple, and was built certainly as early as 1650, and perhaps
earlier. These lively articles relating to it will tend to increase the number of
visitors to the building, which is probably the best reproduction of a Puritan
habitation now in existence.

This little volume is another chapter added to the records of American pa-
triotism. The shaft dedicated thirteen years ago to the New Ipswich soldiers
cannot be a worthier or more durable ottering to their memory than a work like
this, compiled from reports of adjutant generals, histories of regiments, per-
sonal records and lettcTs, with the addition, which increases the pathos of the
narrative, of a number of poems nearly all signed with the initials '*L. A. O.**

The present volume contains the births, marriages and deaths of Seymour,
from the close of the second volume to Dec. 31, 1900; as also baptisms, mar-
riages and burials recorded by Rev. John D. Smith, from 1834 to 1845, the Con-
gregational Church baptismal records, and a list collected by F. G. Bassett from
church, family and other original records of births, marriages and deaths within
what is now the town of Seymour, from 1791 to 1847. The lists are fully in-
dexed, and cannot but be extremely useful.

This very readable pamphlet details the career of the founder of Waitsfleld,
in a manner to prove that he and his associates, as conquerors of the wilderness,
were men who, inferior to some in letters, were the equals of any in talents and
character.

This is the fourth volume of Weston records that has appeared since 1893
In that year were published " Records of First Precinct, 1746-1754," in the
following year *» Records of the Town Clerl?, 1804-1826," and in 1897 "Tax
Lists, 1757-1827," all edited by Miss Pierce. In this volume, besides the town
records, are also private records of births, marriages and deaths, among them a
list of deaths by the Rev. Samuel Woodward, from 1751 to 1782, continued by
another person to 1786; a list by Mrs. Rebecca Baldwin, 1762-1788, and another
by Mrs. Miranda Kendal, 1814-1833; to these are added the names and dates on
the gravestones in the four cemeteries, prior to Nov., 1900. The ••Bits of
Genealogy " are gathered from divers sources, and serve to correct mistakes
that have been elsewhere printed. Errors in the original records are carefully
corrected. The indexes are full, that of the names being apparently modelled
on the index of the Register. All of this work Is a credit to the town and the
editor.
Old Wickford, ** The Venice of America." By Mrs. F. Burgk Griswold. Mil-

It is from the text of this book, rather than from the illustrations, that one
receives an impression of the Venetian aspect of Wickford. The frontispiece
shows merely a row of ordinary houses, by an ordinary sheet of water. The
descriptions and narratives are very interesting, those connected with the per-
sonal reminiscences of the author being particularly so. Though not furnishing
a continuous history, the volume, nevertheless, by its picturesque details re-
specting habitations and their inhabitants and churches and their incumbents,
constitutes an account of the town sufficiently complete.

The cover of this book bears the title, ** The Battle of Chelsea." Three men
wonnded,— two by their fellow soldiers — on one side, from one to two hundred
killed and wonnded on the other, such are the casualties of an engagement so
long i^ored by historians as to procure for it the designation of '* A forgotten
battie." In an address at the celebration of the 123d anniversary of this battle,
by tlie Old Suffolk Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution, Hon. Albert D.
Bosson has given a detailed account of the affair, in which Cols. Israel Putnam
and Jotin Stark, and Dr. Joseph Warren, bore an active part ; the first named.
Indeed, as the leader, and which resulted in the capture by the Provincials of
four cannon— said to have been afterwards used at Bunker Hill— and twelve
swivels, with clothing and money, taken from a British schooner which fell
into the hands of the Americans and was burned. The appendix to Mr. Bosson's
Instructive address consists of notes and memoranda respecting the battle, col-
lected from histories, contemporary letters, journals of Congress, diaries, etc.
Mr. Bosson explains the dissappearance of this battle from our revolutionary
annals by the operation of a cause in no way creditable to the patriots, but not
incompatible with patriotism, viz., the jealousy existing between officers in the
field, and furthermore, to the partisan bias of historians. Mr. Bosson may be
said to have re-fought the battle of Chelsea, and in so decisive a manner as to
win for it its proper appellation of battle instead of skirmish, and to prove its
equality in significance to the battles of Lexington and Concord.
The remainder of this volume is of the tenor usual to year-books of its kind.
The illustrations are extremely fine.

This is yet another of those records of common-place heroism whose pages
we read with avidity. Commonplace this heroism is called because it was the
natural expression of the everyday mood of the American soldier in the Civil

able, as it presents the actions of the field and camp to the extremest minutise.

A placidly flowinjr current of events hardly suggests that type of passion of
wliich it is said, '' Tlie course of true love never did run smooth." Nevertheless,
many will find pleasure in following the lover in this story, on his unimpeded
journey to his beloved, and will rejoice with him when, in marrying her, he at-
tains both his romantic and genealogic aim by uniting the only remaining rep-
resentatives of a family which had been severed by the breadth of the Atlantic

narration. The book is beautifully printed, with wide margins, and is hand-
somely bound in cloth.

EDWARD ELBRIDGE SALISBURY.
By Miss Mary Perkins Qvinct, of New Haven, Conn.
Edward Elbridge Salisbubt of New Haven, Connecticut,
whose death occurred on February 5, of the present year, has been
universally mourned in the worlds of science, Orientalia and art.
A Vice-President of the New-England Historic Genealogical So-
ciety since 1892, he brought to the ofl5ce the results of much re-
search.
He was bom on April 6, 1814, in Boston, an only son. His
father, Josiah Salisbury (bom in 1781), was graduated from Har-
vard in the class of 1798, and ^* was educated in Edinburgh for the
clerical office." Later, he became a merchant in Boston, and died
in 1826,. The mother of Professor Salisbury was Abigail Breese, a
daughter of Judge Samuel Breese.
His sisler, Elizabeth Martha Salisbury, was the first wife of Pro-
fessor Theodore Dwight tVoolsey, who was afterwards President of
Yale College.
Among his kindred of distinction were the families of Aid worth,
Sewall, Quincy, Pyldren-Dummer, Walley, Wendell, Breese,
Chevalier, in whose various lines may be found patriots^ statesmen,
orators, poets and military leaders ; as well as men of renown in
affairs judicial, scientific and literary. The earliest Chevalier an-
cestors were Huguenots, and the ** first one of them in this country
is said to have been the great-grandson of the Due de Sully." An-
other line of descent is recorded from Edmond Grindal, Archbishop
of Canterbury, in the days of Queen Elizabeth.
Mr. Salisbury received his early education under the direction of
his scholarly and cultivated father. During his youth, he met at the
houses of his relatives, noted men of the time, among them the Mar-
quis de La Fayette. After final preparations at the Boston Latin
School, Mr. Salisbury entered Yale College, and was graduated in
the class of 1832. Among his classmates were : Cassius Marcel-
lus Clay, LL.D., at one time United States Minister Plenipotenti-

aiy to Russia; WiUiam Jones Hoppin, for some time dmrgb
d'affairs at the Court of St. James; Robert James LiyingBton;
Alfred Stilldy professor in the Univeniity of Pennsylyania ; and
Hon. Charles Tracy of New York. After his graduation came an
interval of four years of study in New Haven, when Mr. Salisboij
devoted much of his time to theology. He then married, on AprH
27, 1836, his first cousin, Abigail Salisbury Phillips,* daughter of
Edward Phillips, Esq., of Boston, going not long afterwards to Eu-
rope. On August 1, 1837, his only child, Maiy Phillips Salis-
bury, f was bom in Geneva, Switzerland. There is a miniature on
ivory by Isabey, of Mr. Salisbury about this time, which represents
him as possessing peculiar charm and distinction. He was presented
at the brilliant Court of Louis Philippe, during his residence in Paris.
Interested in Hebrew, the result of his studies after graduation,
'Mr. Salisbury continued them abroad frt)m 1836 to 1839, with the
learned Silvestre de Sacy and Garcia de Tassy at Paris, and at
Berlin with the philologist Franz Bopp.
In 1841, the President and Fellows of Yale College voted:
** Whereas the Arabic and Sanskrit languages are original and lead-
ing languages of the Eastern nations and the study of them is ac-
quiring increasing importance on account of our missionary efforts
and commercial intercourse with those regions, and also has import-
ant bearings on our language and literarature as well as on the his-
tory of the world, that a professorship of the Arabic and Sanskrit
languages be established in the college ; and Mr. Salisbury is ap-
pointed to this professorship, to give such instruction from time to
time as may suit his convenience without the expectation of pecuni-
ary compensation."
This appointment was accepted by Mr. Salisbury. To prepare
himself still more perfectly, he went again to Europe in 1842, and
spent a winter in Bonn, reading Sanskrit with Lassen and attending
lectures. On his return he was inaugurated Professor of Arabic and
Sanskrit, and entered upon his duties with the delivery of an " In-
augural Discourse on Arabic and Sanskrit Literature" (printed
privately 1843). This was the first professorship of Arabic and
Sanskrit in America.
Two men of world-renown were his pupils : James Hadley, the
Greek scholar (and father of the present President of Yale Univer-
sity), and William D wight Whitney.
Mr. Salisbury retired from his professorship in 1854, in favor of
his already distinguished pupil, Mr. Whitney, and ceased his official
connection with Yale. In 1857 he again went abroad for a year,
after deeply interesting himself in the American Oriental Society,
and being elected its Corresponding Secretary. In 1863, he be-
came its president. Honored as a brilliant scholar in the once

almost inaccessible realm of Oriental studies, Professor Salisbury-
was among the first to bring it as a possible study to his native land .
Also the first contribution to the Journal of the Society, with the
exception of the President's address, is an article by him.
As has been said of him : "The American Oriental Society alone,
which was the outcome of his labors, would have been glory
enough*," and for this achievement alone, he woidd have merited
peculiar homage.
In the words of Professor Edward Washburn Hopkins, of the
Chair of Sanskrit at Yale, and present Secretary of the American \j
Oriental Society, at the annual meeting in April, the first memorial
mention is made of Professor Salisbury, whose life work in that line
formed the subject of the address. He was " for many years the
staunchest upholder of the Society in more ways than one. A mem-
ber of the Society for nearly sixty years, almost since its foundation,
he was its Corresponding Secretary for eleven and its President for
ten years. Incessant in working for the Society, both in contribut-
ing articles to its Journal^ which he largely supported at his own
expense, and inspiring others to write for it, he had, perhaps, more
than any one else, an influence for good in the early years of its growth,
and always aided in the development of the Society in its maturity.
To him from the outset, it was to be an organization which should
concentrate activities till then scattered and unshaped. There are
indeed few living who know how much Professor Salisbury accom-
plished for the Oriental Society. His own contributions to its
Journal were numerous and of high character. He was from the
first an original investigator, and presented in his various memoirs
not only lucid expositions of subjects of which he made resumes, but
also special translations of his own from sources till then not used
by others. His long career as the Nestor of Orientalists in this
country, the distinguished position he held as occupant of the first
Chair of Sanskrit ever founded in America (and one of the first in
any country), his untiring zeal in behalf of the Society, and the lib-
erality not only of purse but of mind which was characteristic of him,
give him a place unique in the history of the country as well as of
the Society."
It was during his administration of the Journal of the Society
that it secured the cooperation of, and valuable contributions firom,
learned American missionaries.
The munificent gift to Yale College by Mr. Salisbury, in the
year 1870, expressed the loving labor and untiring scholarship of Ids
earlier years. It is the well-known Salisbury Library of Oriental
Literature, together with funds for its increase. Here may be found
the valuable volumes from the de Sacy collection purchased by Mr.
Salisbury at Paris, at the sale following the death of the savant,

Barer orerlooked nor neglected. During his life of

deliTered before the Tale Sdh^ol of the Fine Arts, a leetore oil
'"The Principles of Domestic Taste,** and in 1879 he prepared H
biographical and historical paper* on the Tmrnboll Galleij.
Previonslj, in the year 1869, he had given a Talnable collection
of Greek casts to Yale," to aid in the lUostnition oi the history of
Sculpture.'* In the College Statement of that year, a detailed Lost
is given — the casts being taken from the originals among the Elgin,
Lycian, Fhigaleian, Bndnm and Townley marbles, and small re-
liefs from original terracottas. These may now be studied in the
Corridor adjoining the room of the Jarves collection of paintings
in the Yale Art School.
His rare private collection of engravings inclnded the works of
E<lelinck and I{aphael Morghen. The collection of etchings,
bronzes, Florentine and Roman mosaics, marbles from the chisel of
Groenough the sculptor, framed and unframed specimens of pottery,
illustrations of the Vatican and Pitti galleries and the Museo Por-
bonico, attest his clear insight into whatsoever things are beautifnl
in the realm of true Art. Nor were the qualities of the bibliophile
lacking, for books and bindings of price he treasured with care.
Tlierc exists a portrait in oils of Professor Salisbury, painted in
1872 by IJakcr. It portrays him in the years of middle life, min-
gling in a high degree the traits of the man of spirited thought
with calm repose bom of large leisure. At this time Mr. Salisbury
waH accustomed to give his winters to Xcw Haven, and his smnmer
days to Lenox, where he owned a fine country-seat.
Again in 1870-71, Mr. Salisbury made a fourth visit to Europe,
and on his return, on November 23, 1871, he married, for his
second wife, Pivelyn, only child of Hon. Charles Johnson Mao-
Curdy of Lyme, Judge of the Supreme Court of Connecticut, who,
with his charming and accomplished daughter, at one time repre-
sented the United States at the Court of Vienna.
After his second marriage, Lyme became the sunmier home of
Mr. and Mrs. Salisbury, and together they have interested them-
selves in the civil and religious welfare of the town. Beautiful for
situation, on the shores of Long Island Sound, this historic town

became greatly endeared to Mr. Salisbury, a student of nature, and
bis untiring zeal for the advancement of the learning and prosperity
of those whose home it was, claimed a large share of his thought
and affection. He cultivated exotics and rare plants in his conser-
vatory, and in the grounds of his New Haven and Lyme homes, and
flowers never failed in summer nor winter.
In the later years of his life he is seen entering with keen
interest the wide fields of genealogical research, associated with
his wife. With princely liberality he spared no pains in obtaining
information from the most important European archives, the late
Col. Chester devoting much time exclusively to these researches.
With a pen ever ready and a rare collection of material at his com-
mand, data and detail were blended with a master's skill. Two
large folio volumes of " Family Memorials " were privately printed
in 1885, and are a series of genealogical and biographical mono-
graphs of eleven families, Mr. Salisbury, contrary to his habitual
personal reticence, using his own name and generation for the cen-
tral anchorage of these related lines. Especially noteworthy are the
pedigree charts that are appended to each monograph, enriched
with copies of armorial bearings. Prepared at large cost, with un-
tiring care, they might alone bespeak Mr. Salisbury's ability. The
attention of the annalist is arrested by the " realistic prominence of

Few records ^ could be more charming than the anecdotes that en-
liven (the) pages." High praise is given to the work as an example
of the art of the printer, for with his love of books. Professor Salis-
bury was careful of the detail of pages, " of wide margins and rubri-
cated lines," "of fine paper and binding."
Truly, as the poet Holmes wrote of his kinsman's work : " It is a
monument of patient industry and research." Also Mr. Henry F.
Waters of London exclaims upon " the magnificent result " of the
labors. Another speaks of it as " unique in this country, and proba-
bly • * never * * surpassed." With the able and zealous collabora-
tion of his second wife, Mrs. Evelyn MacCurdy Salisbury, were com-
pleted, in 1892, five similar volumes of "Family Histories and
Genealogies," which add their testimony to his services and labors
in that direction, " nothing like them having thus far been given to
American genealogical literature." His writings bespeak great ele-
gance and grace of expression and a rare poetic touch. As Mrs.
Salisbury says of her husband : " Our working together has been
like a delightful journey, part of the time in company, and some-
times each going off alone on some special search to bring back to
the other the valuable results of the excursion."* Of Professor
Salisbury's traits of character, the description of a courtly person-
age of the last century may well be applied to him. He was "of
highly polished manners, the model of a well-bred gentleman, cour-

teous with dignity, conversing with eyerjhodj freely without invit'
ing familiarity, and so well informed as to always render his oon-
yersation agreeable,"* making a dignified and gracious, presence.
He had a rare talent of winning admiration and respect. Men of
distinction came to render him homage. Professor O. C. Mareh,
the well-known paleontologist and nephew of Oeorge Peabody of
London, often said that his first awakening to the thought of a pre-
historic man was due to an article on that subject translated from
the German by Mr. Salisbury^ many years ago, during one of bis
residences abroad, f
Professor Salisbury had a deep interest in every branch of science*
In geology especially, his friends were the late Professors Benjamin
Silliman and James Dwight Dana, whose son, Edward Salisbury
Dana, now occupies the Chair of Physics and is the Curator of the
Mineralogical Collection at Yale. In Political Science he was a
close student of every move of our government, and supported it
during its most trying hours of civil war by stem and decisive opi-
nions. He was a staunch supporter of the views of President Lin-
coln during all the dark days of the conflict, and in his works of
philanthrophy the negroes and their able advocate, Booker T. Waah-
ington, found in Mr. Salisbury a generous friend.
He was ever ready to accept new discoveries, and welcomed theo-
ries explaining the changes developed by modern research. At the
dawn of electrical knowledge, Mr. Salisbury followed with especial
eagerness the progress of his kinsman, Samuel Finlay Breese Morse,
in bis invention of the telegraph — which he accepted at the outset,
when to others it seemed a doubtful project. Also when Alexander
Graham Bell (whose wife is a cousin of Mrs. Salisbury) was per-
fecting his invention of the telephone, he showed his instrument to
scientific men at the house of Mr. Salisbury, extending wires to dis-
tant rooms. Later he became one of its wannest patrons. In the
interests of archeology, he was a benefactor of the Egypt Explora-
tion Society, ever alive to the importance of its discoveries.
Professor Salisbury was not what is called now a specialist, be-
cause he was interested in all departments of knowledge. In mat-
ters religious, to quote once more from his friend Professor Hop-
pin, " he lived in a calm atmosphere of Christian faitli, humble,
tender and pure, springing from the life of God in the soul, so that
while watching the changing phenomena of theological opinion striv-
ing to find a philosophical basis for Christiani^, these discussions
did not disturb his wonderfully child-like and deep-seated faith.''
"Of strict conscientiousness, ingenuousness and highmindedness,
sincere, trustful, direct, charitable, devout, he (was) a man in
whom is no guile. Intellectual, sensitive and retiring, industrious,

(and) indefatigable in those pursuits to which he (devoted) him-
self."*
Among the learned societies in Europe and America claiming
Professor Salisbury in their membership, are : the Asiatic Society of
Paris, to which he was elected a member in 1838 ; the Connecticut
Academy of Arts and Sciences, to which he was admitted in 1839 ;
the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in Boston, of which
he became a Fellow in 1848 ; the Imperial Academy of Sciences
and Belles Lettres at Constantinople, which invited him to become
a corresponding member in 1855 ; and in 1859, a similar member-
ship was given him in the German Oriental Society. The Ameri-
can Antiquarian Society records Professor Salisbury a member in
1861; and for several years he was one among the Society of
American Authors.
In 1869, Yale College conferred on him the degree of Doctor of
Laws ; and Harvard, in 1886, on the occasion of the two hundred
and fiftieth anniversary of its foundation, further honored him with
the same gift, in recognition of having been a pioneer in Oriental
Science in America. In patriotic and memorial societies, he was a
member of the Huguenot Society and of the Society of Colonial
Wars.
The death of Professor Salisbury occurred on Tuesday, February
5, 1901, at his residence in New Haven, after a brief illness of
pneumonia, within a few weeks of his eighty-eighth birthday.
To the end, he retained the clearness of his intellect, the keenness
of his affections, and his interest in life.

SOME EARLY NEW YORK SETTLERS FROM NEW
ENGLAND.
By "Walter Kendall Watkins, Esq., of Maiden, Mass.
[Continued from page 303.]
Henry Moody, Esq., of Garesdon, Wilts, England, was created a baro-
net, 11 Mch., 1621-2, and died 23 Apr., 1629. An Inquisition on his estate
was taken^4 Jan., 1630. He was seized in his desmesne of the manor of
Lee and Cleverdon, Wilts, and of 20 messuages, 10 cottages, 10 tofta, one
dovecote, 1000 acres of land, 150 acres of meadow, 500 acres of pasture,
20 acres of wood, 500 acres of furze and heath, and 40 shillings rent ; also
the tithes of com, grain and hay.
Of the manor of Garesdon, 20 messuages, 10 cottages, 10 tofts, one dove-
cote, one water mill, 1500 acres of land, 200 acres meadow, 1000 acres
pasture, 100 acres wood, 500 acres furze and heath, 40 shillings rent, and
the tithes ; also the advowson of Garesdon church.
His father, Richard Moody, Esq., deceased, was seized of the manor of
Whitchurch-cum-Milbome, Wilts, also of the Westfields in the parish of
Lee, Wilts, and Crab Mill and mead ; and the tithes of Whitchurch, Mil-
borne and Brokenborow, Wilts.
23 Nov., 1605, in consideration of a marriage portion of £2000, received
with his son's wife, Deborah, daughter of Walter Dunch of Avebury,
Wilts, Richard Moody settled on Henry Moody for life. Crab Mill and
mead, Couthfield in Milborne, Erode Mead, Gaston meadow, and Leward's
Close in Cleverdon ; Wanslop mead, Milbome and Whitchurch Farm ; and
after his death, to Deborah his widow. They were married 20 Jan., 1606.
Henry Moody also owned a meadow in Stagnes mead, Brokenborow and
Westport, Wilts, and a close of land called Worthies, in the parishes of
Brokenborow, Westport and Malmesbury, Wilts ; also land called North-
mare, Lee, Wilts. Malmesbury now includes Westport, Milborne, Whit-
church and Crab Mill. Cleaverton is in Lea parish, joining Malmesbury.
Garsdou is two and a half miles northeast of Malmesbury.
Winthrop speaks of the Lady Moody as " a wise and anciently religious
woman." Her father, Walter Dunch, Esq., represented Dimwich, Suffolk,
in Parliament, in 1584 and 1588. He was the son of William Dunch of
Little Whittenham, Berks, by Mary, daughter of William Baron of Lon-
don. Walter Dunch, who died 4 June, 1584, age 42, married Deborah,
daughter and coheir to James Pilkington, Bishop of Durham, and had :
Deborah, William and Ruth. Walter Dunch was a commoner of Mag-
dalen College, Oxford, before 1564, and barrister-at-law, Gray's Inn, 1570.
In 1638, Lady Deborah Moody was a proprietor at Lynn, and then re-
moved to Salem, where she was admitted to the church, 5 Apr., 1640. She
was presented at court in 1641 for opposing infant baptism. In Salem she
owned a flat-roofed house, but nine feet high, and in November, 1646, a
high wind lifted the roof and top part of the chimney without disturbing
ten people lying under it. She bought the farm of John Humphrey for
about £1000, which embarrassed her iinancially.
In 1643 she went to Long Island, and was at Gravesend with others of
the Bay Colony. She was living in 1658, and her son Henry sold, 11
VOL. LV. 25
378 Jfew York SeUlers/t-om Hew England. [Oct.
May, 1659, land which was his mother's, Deborah Moody, deceased. The
son came to New Amsterdam in 1661, and from there to Virginia. He
matriculated at Magdalen Hall, Oxford, 2 Nov., 1621, aged 14 years ; was
created D. C. L., 20 Dec, 1642, and was admitted to Gray's Inn, 5 Aug.,
1682.
jEREsnr Moore came in 1688, in the ^* Diligent," from Wymondham,
Norfolk, England, and was first at Hingham. He remored to Boston in
1648, and was a freeman in 1645.
He had baptized in the First Chorch : Samnel, 29 Ang., 1647 ; Jeremy,
17 Dec., 1648, and Mary, b. 16 Feb., 1650. He died in 1650. Inven-
tory, 18 Jan., 1650. (Register, yiL, 84.) His widow, Alice, manied
Henry Largin as his second wife, and had Joseph, bom 28 Nov., 1658.
Savage states that Samuel, son of Jeremy, married 18 May, 1660, Abi-
ril, daughter of Capt. Thomas Hawkins, and had: Mary,b. 2 May, 1661,
July, 1663 ; and that Samuel Moore died shortly after, and the widow
then married Thomas Kellond. There is a record of the birth of Susanna,
of Mr. Thomas and Abigail Kellond, 21 Oct., 1665.
As Samuel, son of Jeremy Moore, was baptized 29 Aug., 1647 ; he was
rather young to marry at the age of 13, though one might suggest he was
baptized as a child of seven or eight.
A proof of the mistaken identity of Samuel, and that he was alive in
1668, is shown by the following :
William Courser of Boston, innholder, and his wife Joanna, for £40
paid by Henry Largin and Alice his wife long since, (being part of the
estate left by Jeremiah Moore, former husband to said Alice, in the yew
1652 or thereabout, as portions for his children,) sell to the said Henry
Largin and Alice his wife during their natural life and the longest liver of
them, and after their decease unto Samuel Moore, John Cottee in right of
Mary his wife, and Jeremiah Moores, sons and daughter of Uie late Jeremiah
Moore deceased, all their dwelling and lands in the lane going from Wil-
liam Hudson's' toward Henry Allen's house, which had been in the posses-
sion of Henry Largin " neere seauenteene yeares." This was under date
of 22 Feb., 1668. (Suffolk Deeds, vi., 7.)
Samuel Moore married Naomi , and had Francis, b. 15 July, 1670,
and Edward, b. 5 July, 1674. He shortly after removed to New York,
and died. Ills will in the Surrogate's Office, New York, states he was a
merchant. " I leave my whole estate to my wife to be at her disposall."
In presence of us underwriters, Nicholas De Meyer, Dan'l De Hart,
January 21, 1675-G. Sworn 21 June, 1675.
'* Whereas, Samuel Moore of this city, merchant, dyed, without mak-
ing any formal will, yet did leave a nuncupative before sufficient testi-
monies.'* His widow, Naomi Moore, was appointed administratrix, 25
March, 1676. Vol. i, 131, 134.
William Purryer, or Furrier, aged 36, with wife Alice 37, children,
Mary age 7, Sarah 5 and Catherine 1 J years, embarked in 1635 from Lon-
don in the "Hopewell." He came from Olney, Bucks, with others,
through the influence of Rev. William Worcester, who had been deposed
as rector of that parish. He settled at Ipswich, where he had a house lot
in 1638 ; and was also at Salisbury. He was a freeman of Connecticut in
1662 ; and settled at Southold, Long Island.

ton, L. I., and was an assistant in 1661 and 1663. He made a will 6 July,
1667, which was probated 4 Nov., 1667, in which he mentions wife Mar-
tha, sons Joseph, Jonathan, the last to have one-half the housing and lands

Thomas Skidmore, a blacksmith, of Westerleigh, nine miles trom Bris-
tol, Eng., sent over cattle in 1636 for John Winthrop. He came to Cam-
bridge about 1639, and resided on the westerly side of Brighton St., north
of Mount Auburn St.
A James Skidmore was connected with him in sending the cattle, per

Cary to Jefferson,
Ampthill, 31**. October, 1775.
Dear Sir,
I had the pleasure of yours of the 17"\ instant last night by
post ; am much obliged to you for it. As well as yourself I am much at a
loss why Gage &c. should be sent for,* and cannot judge whether it
augurs good or evil ; but my fears are that no good can happen to America
from any orders of those in power on the other side of the Atlantick. I
think very much depends on the success of the expedition against Quebeck,
for should the munition of war in that garrison fall into our bands, I really
think we shall be able to defeat all the troops they can send against us.
This week past, hostilities commenced in this colony, by an attack
from the navy on Hampton. Our young treasurer aided by Cap*. Lyn be-
haved like heroes of old. But the papers will give you the affair at large.
I have been honoured with the command of die battalion in this district ;
it is not yet compleat ; the three companies in Chesterfield are full, only
one in Amelia and one in Cumberland compleat, but I learn all are nigh
fall. I received orders yesterday to send down two companies from this
county. They shall march on Thursday. I fear but few battalions of
minute men will be raised. The reasons assigned are the improper ap-
pointment of officers. In some districts I think it is really so, but fear in

♦ ♦ * The affair of Princess Ann mentioned in your joint letter
to our Committee, w^. I took the liberty of assuring you was altogether a
fiction, but which I told you had since been almost verified, was I have
since found when it really happened, almost as disgraceful and cowardly
as the prophetic fiction represented. Two hundred of the militia of P.
Ann. were as judiciously disposed of in ambush as could be, and the minis-
terial tools fell into it very compleatly, but were so faintly attacked that
although the advanced guards were thrown into confusion they with little
or no loss gained a compleat victory. Not a tenth part of the militia fired.
They fied in a most dastardly manner. Col. Hutchings who served in the
ranks as a common soldier and several others stood bravely, but being
shamefully deserted were taken prisoners.
Our late Governor,! as we now call him, was so elated with this victory,
that he erected the standard, published Oie proclamation you will see in
our papers, which he had before printed with the press he had taken from
Norfolk and marched about making prisoners of a number of people, and
administering an oath of his own framing, by which the Congress conven-
tions and committees are utterly disclaimed, and all obedience and snbmisr
sion, I suppose, promised to acts of Parliament. In short he has made a
compleat [ ] of Princess Ann and Norfolk, and numbers of negros and
cowardly scoundrels fiock to his standard. But we hope soon to put a stop
to his career and recover all we have lost ; for Col. Woodford, after innu-
merable delays for want of arms, &c. &c. is by this time very near him

with his regiment and 250 minute men of the Culpeper battalion, and a
number of volunteers. Last Monday night Col. Woodford received an ex-
press from Suffolk desiring assistance ; but I need not mention this as you
will see it related in Purdie's paper. I must also refer you to Purdie's for
the news respecting the men of war and tenders. We are so used to hear
cannon now that we think nothing of it, and I can assure you that 50 men
kept the King Fisher and 3 tenders at a distance at Jas Town where they
might have come within 250 yards of them. I think if we had but pow-
der enough, some good cannon, and a few privateers we might do very
well. We have 3 18 poimders, some 12s 9s and 4s., but we have not pow-
der even to prove them, and I know not who will venture to import more
since Gatrick and his sons are prisoners. For God's sake endeavor to
procure us arms and ammunition, and if our king is so determined a tyrant
as not to listen to your petition, crave assistance from any and every power
that can afford it Our committee had adjourned before the news of Ld.
D 8. success reached Williamsburg, which may be an unlucky circum-
stance, if Woodford should be defeated, or should there be an insurrection
of the negros, since Col. Henry is not empowered to call in any assistance
but such as the neighboring minute and militia companies may afford,
which is at present in fact none at all. I have long wished to see a suffi-
cient number of men drawn out to crush him and his whole party at once.
I think myself, it would have been an easy matter some time ago to have
destroyed the ships, tenders, and his soldiers, but they are now so much on
their guard and are so much reinforced that he is become not only very
secure but formidable. You will see by the proclamation that he has only
spoken out and avowed what he has hitherto concealed. I hope the con-
vention will publish a counter proclamation, raise at least another regi-
ment, and instead of minute men, unless they can be put on a better foot-
ing, have the militia compleatly armed as well trained as the time they can
spare will admit of, and make draughts from it when men are wanted.

Dear Sir,
I was favoured with your letter the other day by Mrs. Randolph.
•We had before her arrival heard of the death of our worthy friend. The
great load of business I have had on hand ever since the Convention
obliged me to confine my correspondence to him, knowing that he would
communicate my letters to the rest of the Associates. The infamous prac-
tice of opening all letters passing through the government post office made
it prudent to write with a confined pen, contenting myself with hints and
allusions, instead of aiming at perspicuity. I had wrote to the late Speaker
before he left Virginia desiring that he would take the earliest opportunity of
procuring paper for the small notes, viz^ 50000 a 2/6 and 50 M a 2/3, as our
ordinance directs. The design of the Convention was that the paper with
proper plates should be sent, that the money might be stnick here, which
gentlemen supposed would give us an additional security against counter-
feits. By his letter to me I understood that the business was in great f oi^
wardness, and I am in daily expectation of receiving the bills, which are
much wanted for small change. This was not all ; we hoped from Mr.
Tobb's account that there would have been paper enough of the James
384
: Jefficr$mi CurrespOiidcncB*
[Oct.
Kver Bank kind to make the full cmi^cton ; but he was exceedingly mis-
taken. When I came to examine it I found it ebort at least £200.000,
allowing many of the bilk to be longer than I would cbuse or tliMi will be
convenient. I am by the onlinanee resinct^d to the u^e of certain kinda
of paper, so that no othor cau }m issued witlioiit the sanction of a future
Convention. Under tbi& difRculty I consnlti^d with our Commit lec of
Safetji who thought ivith me that it would be most desirable to endeavour
to procure a sufficii'Ht quantity of proper paper, &c, at PbiladeJphiai m
this country will not funji^h it. Tbls was in part the Bubjeet of my last
letter to the Speaker. I tiki uot conine him to particuJar deriomiiiationSf
aa I wished him to Cf^n^iilt with the l>est judges and supposed he woold^
being on the spot, be beat able to fix th@ matter with them m the most
proper manner. I desired that n pniportioiL of thr/ bilh might ha Hmall
and now see a greater necessity for thi« than when 1 wrote. Large bilk
will be of no use to tlie »obIiers. To have a ^reat mimlK^r of small onei|
will make the paper come dearer, but this will be nothing compared to Hie
advantage of having the money made most convenient to the holders. I
have thought of the foUowmg denominations, viz^ 100.000 a 10/, 100.000
a 5/, 20.000 at £5, and 25.000 a £25. The sooner this paper can be had
the better, as it will be tpeedily wanted. Indeed, if our disturbances o(m-
tinue over the year I do not know what further quantity may be necessary.
Perhq>s it might be better to engage more, but I have no authority to do
it. Excuse me for distinguishing, but I must again tell you that the paper
for the 100.000 small bills is immediate^ wanted ; the rest as soon €U paS"
nUe. One great difficulty I labor under is to procure proper money to de-
fray expences in other Provinces. It is to be wished that Congress could
do something to give our paper a general currency ; this I should think
might be done by establishing an exchange for the continental money, a
considerable part of which I understand, is issued upon our credit, and
surely this must be equally good for our own. Besides it is expected, and
I think with the greatest reason, that a just proportion of the expences in-
curred for the necessary defence of this country will be made a continental
charge. I presume that many merchants of Philadelphia must have money
matters to transact here ; it would be most convenient to us if money could
be had there by drafts upon me to be paid in Virginia currency ; I mean
paperl as specie is grown so scarce that I can't undertake payment in that.
If the paper desired for emitting our money cannot be had on other terms,
I will give my bills for it ; tho' this I w'ld wish to avoid, if possible.
You must have seen in the papers an account of the different occurrences
here since your departure. I could say more, were it not for fear of in-
quisitive peepers. Our people are like to be much distressed for want of
salt. Tlus is an article so necessary to life that I think it may be fairly
submitted whether it would not be adviseable to give the same encourage-
ment for its importation as was done for another certain article.* Yon
may have wondered that the lists of Tithables &c., have not been for-
warded to our delegates, and perhaps may be more surprised when I tell
you of a general disinclination in people to furnish their lists. I have not
received them from more than three districts in the whole colony. It's a
pity that the busmess of the Congress would not permit our delegates to re-
turn home, as I am persuaded they are much wanted in their several coim-
ties. We are all impatience to hear from Canada. God grant us success
and a happy issue to yonr deliberations. R. C. Nicholas*

7. Isaac Brooks, son of Isaac and Miriam (Daniels) Brooks, was bom
in Woburn, 13 Aug., 1669. He married Hannah,' or Anna, Trask
( William,^ William}), who was bom 7 June, 1668. Isaac and his
brother, Henry Brooks, sold a parcel of land in Reading, 9 Dec.,
1696, and Mary, the wife of Henry, joined in the deed. (Middle-
sex Co. Deeds, vol. 12, p. 11.) From the fact that Isaac's wife did
not sign with the others, the inference is that she had died some time
between March and December of that year.
Children (Wobum Records) :
i. Anna,* b. 10 Aug., 1689.
ii. Sarah, b. 28 Nov., 1693.
iii. William, b. 1 Mar., 1696.
8. William' Trask ( William,^ WiUiarn}) was bom in Salem, 7 Sept.
1674; married (1) Ann, daughter of Joseph and Lydia (Rogers)
White of Weymouth ; married (2), 3 Nov., 1743, SaraJi, daughter of
Jonathan and Sarah (Hobart) Hay den of Braintree, who was bom
19 Oct., 1705. He lived in Salem, Weymouth and Braintree, and
was successively a shipwright, a blacksmith and a husbandman.
While a resident of Salem, he sold to his uncle, John Trask, " all
that my Quarter part of y® Mill Standing vpon y® North Riuer in
Salem with my Quarter part of y® Damme belonging therewith, with
all my Right Title & Interest in y® Streame that drives the same, to-
gether with all & Singular y® Rights privileges advantages & Appur-
tenances belonging to y® 'same or any part thereof." Dated and
acknowledged by William Trask and Ann his wife, 15 July, 1697.
(Essex Co. Deeds, vol. 12, p. 42.)
He next appears in Weymouth, where, 1 March, 1702-3, he sold
more land in Salem, and later disposed of half the homestead of
** William Trask of Salem deceased " to John Trask, Jr.
In 1714, William Trask owned a dwelling house in Braintree, and
that year he and his wife Ann gave a deed of land in the town, to
John Hoi lis, which was not recorded until 1734. (Suffolk Co.
Deeds, vol. 49, p. 188.) In 1736, he conveyed to Edward Trask,
Jr., of Salem, the 63** part of the township of land which was
granted by the General Court to Samuel King and others who were
in the expedition to Canada in 1690. The township adjoined Sou-
hegan, and the " 63^ part " was an inheritance from his father.
A letter of administration was granted to Sarah, widow of William
Trask of Braintree, 27 May, 1746, and the inventory was taken by
Zechariah Thayer, John Webb and Jonathan Webb, 10 April, 1747 ;
but no settlement of the estate, indicating who were his heirs, is on
record.

of Thomas and Ruth (Richardson) FoDer, and grandson of Lieat

yation in 1638, and who decided to remain. He first settled in
Wobum, and afterwards in that part of Salem now Middleton«
where his <' wealth .... enterprising spirit, and sound judgment
gave to his posterity good positions in society, which have been sus-
tained wherever they have been scattered over the world."
Jonathan Fuller was bom 19 Sept, 1673, and baptized in the old
historic church at Salem Village, 5 May, 1706. From this church
he and his wife Susanna receiv^ letters of dismission and recom-
mendation to the new church at Middleton, which was formed in 1729.
In after years he removed to Sutton, where both he and his wife
were living in 1742, when he conveyed to Samuel^ Trask (29) land
and buildings, upon the express condition that the said Samuel
should constantly live with him and his wife, and *' effectually take
care of and provide for them respectively, during their natural lives
both in sickness and in health, and to decently inter them." (Wor-

Collins, and daughter of Joshua and Hannah (Flint) Ward. He re-
sided in Salem, where he was born, and of which town he was a
good citizen. Like his father, he lived in the ^^ Black Horse
Tavern," where as host he was attentive to the wants of the travel-
ler ; and, like his grandfather, he carried on the old mill, which had
been in the family from the beginniDg. He engaged in various
enterprises, and his name frequently appears in the transfers of
property. He was respectively styled "inn-holder," "husband-
man," *' miller" and ** yeoman" in the deeds which he executed.
He died intestate in 1737, and as his wife declined administration
upon the estate, as is shown by the following petition, liis two sons,
William and John, were appointed in her stead, 19 July, 1737, with
Samuel Bell and Samuel Abom as bondsmen. (Essex Co. Probate,

GLEANINGS FROM MASSACHUSETTS ARCHIVES.
Ck>minanicated by Frakois Eybbstt Blakb, Esq.
In December, 1776, the Provincial Assembly passed a resolve directing
the Selectmen or the Committee of Correspondence of the several towns to
make a return, on the first of January following, of the number of all the
male inhabitants, sixteen years of age and over, belonging to their respec-
tive towns. In these returns they were to distinguish those persons who
had before the 19th of April preceding "been deemed to be of the De-
nomination of Christians called Quakers, Indians, Negroes, and Molattoes,
from other people," and also report the number of students and others con-
nected with Harvard College. To avoid doubts which might arise, they
were also instructed to make a separate return of any residents " who
had been driven from Boston, Charleetown, Falmouth, Newport and other
Seaport towns since the blockade of Boston."
So many of the towns failed to make returns, that in July, 1777, an
order was passed requiring all delinquents to give immediate attention to
the matter.
A few returns appear in duplicate, and in some there are statements
complaining that the first orders were never received, or only after a long
delay ; all attesting to the crude methods then in use for the transmission
of important messages. The names of inhabitants in the following towns
were reported, and are preserved in the Archives, Vol. 161 : Barnstable,
Bolton, Brookline, Easton, Granville, Hull, Murrayfield, Northfield, Plymp-
ton, Princeton and Uxbridge. A study of these returns is interesting, and
there is marked evidence of a desire on the part of the officials of some of
the towns to reduce the number of inhabitants capable of performing mili-
tary duty. Many towns particularly mentioned the number of possible
exempts ; and in one it says that the return includes " all at home or abroad in
the army, the sick, the lame, the decrepid and every one that had the
breath of life ; " while in another it adds, '' there is 41 of the above menshand
persons which wee Luck upon on able to Do Duty sum considurble part
past age sum Bed Bid sum cripples sum lam halt & sum Blind."

This disposition is not surprising, as the calls for troops had been very
frequent, and many of the towns were finding it very difficult to meet all
the demands and fill their quotas, — and yet this was but the beginning of
the war and the people were to feel the strain more keenly as the days
passed onward. Appended is a list of those " who had been driven,' ' &c.

chased a tract of land then in the northern part of Lunenburg, where
he erected buildings to which he removed his family in 17B9. In
the creation of new towns, this homestead became a part cf ELtch-
burg in 1764, and of Ashby in 1767. During the French and
Indian wars he lived upon the frontier, and his house was one of a
line of block houses fortified for the protection of Westminster,
Lunenburg and Townsend. July 5, 1748, the Indians made an at-
tack upon the garrison, killed two soldiers then on duty, and made
captives of John Fitch, his wife and five children. They were con-
ducted to Canada, and exchanged as prisoners of war a few months
subsequently. Susannah, wife of John Fitch, died on the home-

CHARLES LEVI WOODBURY.
Bv JosiAH P. Tucker. Esq.
Charles Levi Woodbury was born in Portsmouth, N. H.,
May 22, 1820, and died in Boston, July let, 1898. It was my
good fortune and privilege to be frequently associated with Mr.
Woodbury professionally during the last thirty years of his life, and,
occupying adjoining offices, I had full opportunity to acquire a
thorough knowledge of his character and personal qualities. Mr.
Woodbury's father was Levi Woodbury of New Hampshire, and
his mother was Miss Elizabeth Williams Clapp of Portland. His
father was a lawyer of note and high standing, both in his own
State and the country at large, and occupied positions of great re-
sponsibility in the Government of the United States, being an Asso-
ciate Justice on the bench of the United States Supreme Court, and
Secretary of the Treasury of the United States. Much of Mr.
Woodbury's early life was spent in what he always spoke of as
** Washington City," a term applied to Washington by its inhabi-
tants of those days. It was in Washington that Mr. Woodbury
acquired most of his education, and there fitted for admission to the
408 Charles Levi Woodbuty. [OcL
Bar of the District of Columbia. AiW his admiaBion, lie spent
some time in the State of Alabama, in the practice of his profeaaon.
Mr. Woodbury had a natural inclination for politics, and he was
happy and effective in what is called ** stump spaJdng.** His
Washington life, its atmosphere, and his associations there, en-
couraged this natural inclination. Often did he recount his first
experience in public speaking, in Alabama, where he was associated
with a couple of ^ Old Stagers," as he called them, in stumping the
State during some State campaign. Being the youngest of the
trio, he was put forward at die first stopping place to make the
opening address, which he proceeded to do with a veiy satisfied
confidence. When he had finished, he thought he had made a great
speech, which ought to be accepted as a guide for all his hearers,
but after listening to his associates, the ^ Old Stagers," who fi>l-
lowed him, he began to have doubts about the importance of what
he had said, and finally, as he often used to relate, he made up his
mind that he really knew but a very little, and he studied and tried
ever after to learn something, having an experience not infrequent
with young men in early life, with confidence in their then knowl-
edge, capacity and importance. No one can doubt that this early
resolution to study and learn, showed in the later life of Mr. Wood-
bury achieved results in a marked degree, both in his profession of
the law and in the wide field of general knowledge. Antiquarian
study and research possessed strong attractions to him, which
doubtless was a leading feature in inciting the marked interest
which he had and manifested in this Society, its purposes and its
prosperity. The fishermen on our coast were a class in which Mr.
Woodbury had great interest and concern, their dangerous and un-
certain employment demanding such unflinching courage ; and the
taking of great risks to life excited his sympathy and assistance in
any and all ways within his power. Their legal rights, and their
use and importance as experienced sailors for our navy in case of
need, always appealed to Mr. Woodbury's best efforts in their be-
half, and, as a rule, gratuitously. Admittedly, no man in this
country had a wider, more comprehensive, or more reUable knowl-
edge of these people, from the Norsemen down, than he. In
the Masonic order he stood high both officially and as an
authority upon the principles of the onler, its history, age and au-
thenticity. For many years he was prominent and active in poli-
tics, State and National, yet public office had few attractions for
him. He was United States Attorney for the District of Massa-
chusetts during President Buchanan's administration, and a member
of the House of Representatives of this Commonwealth for a couple
of years. Possessed of an exceptional and unusual amiability of
temper, with sympathetic tendencies at all times, it was, indeed,
rarely that he gave expression to an unkind word or criticism of
1901.] Charles Levi Woodbury. 409
another. Nothing, except to him the most flagrant departure from
what was right, ever induced him to act otherwise. By no means
without positive convictions upon any and all points and subjects
met in daily life, he observed silence rather than express such con-
victions to the injury of others. Misfortune and want appealed to
his sympathies, and always received effective substantial considera-
tion at his hands. Mr. Woodbury was an able and thorough law-
yer, excelling in constitutional questions and the construction of
statute law. In patent cases his legal abilities and knowledge were
materially and effectually supplemented by an exceptional aptitude
for mechanics ; and in the preparation of cases he was painstaking
and thorough, thereby avoiding surprise on either side during the
progress of the trial.
Mr. Woodbury was a bachelor, taking his meals with Mr. Par-
ker when he kept a restaurant in the basement of the Tudor build-
ing, which stood on Court Street, where Young's Hotel now is, and
later at the Parker House after it was built. He occupied rooms
known to his friends as " Saints' Rest," in the building now num-
bered 414 Washington Street. The old building on that site was
burned in the Boston fire of 1872, and with it were destroyed many
of Mr. Woodbury's old, rare and valuable books, the accumulation
of many years. In a great measure this was an irreparable loss,
yet accepted by him in the full spirit of the familiar couplet that
** what can't be cured must be endured." All the varied misfor-
tunes met in life were treated and accepted by Mr. Woodbury in
the same philosophical spirit. To get back into the new building
in the same locality was his oft-expressed desire, and this he accom-
plished.
The article published by the Committee on Memorials of the Mas-
sachusetts Council of Deliberation, in Masonry, upon the death of
Mr. Woodbury, truthfully expresses his personality : "The thoughts
that he entertained were his own thoughts, the clothing that he wore
was a part of himself, in some way differing from that of others,
and not adopted from any motive of oddity or eccentricity, it be-
longed to him. Whatever he did or said bore the impress of his
personality. For social intercourse he possessed qualities which
could not fail to make him the centre of any group into which
chance threw him, for with a quiet and genial wit, with frankness
of tongue tempered with kindly affection, with broad mental attain-
ments untainted with intellectual arrogance, he had the ease and
readiness of an experienced man of the world. His friends might
be numbered by thousands and his enemies it would be hard to find,
and he leaves behind him a memory which must always be asso-
ciated with happy thoughts and kindly deeds." To this I would
add, the life of a good citizen, a thorough scholar and a man who
performed well his part in the world as he understood it, went out
in the death of Mr. Woodbury.

The pariflh of Redenhall with Ilarle§ton tics nearly in the oetitre of thie
handred of Karsliam, Co» Norfolk, Hngliind. It b in form an oblaiig^nin^
ning north and sourh, with a length of a little le^ than four mile^ and a
mean breadtli of alioiit a mile and a quarter. At the north- we^t corner of
the oblong its boundary touches Hardwick. Starting from this pointy the
pariah is bounded bj Shellon on the north, bj Al burgh and Wort well oa
the east, by iMendham on the south, and by Need ham atid Standi on on the
west There \% only one break in the regularity of the outline, and that U
the peninsula proji^cting into Need ham, jn.st west of the town of Harleston*
Bedenhall with Harlestoa and Worrwtdl taken together, elosely resemble
a human foot, Ifarlei^toFi Iving at the heel, Hedenhall church at the centre
of the arch, and Wort well towarda the toes.
A few words may be said here as to the relative positions of RedenhaD
and Wortwell, though the latter parish does not hdl within the scope ol
this article. Wortwell b a separate and distinct parish mth its own paro-
chial officers, and now has its own parish council. But for ecdesiastical
purposes it is united with, but not merged in, the parish of RedenhalL
The two parishes have a church in common, through which their division
line passes. The parishioners of Wortwell elect one churchwarden to re-
present their interests and discharge their duties in matters touching the
church. The Rector of Redenhall has the tithes, and is responsible for the
cure of souls in Wortwell. The old parsonage house stood in that parish,
and we shall see that when the churchwardens made out their rate for
church expenses, three-fourths of the amount was raised in Redenhall and
one-fourth in Wortwell. (See Charles Candler's Notes on the Parish of
Redenhall with Harleston.)
There were living in Redenhall, in 1482 and 1488, John and William
Fuller, both freeholders, as they were then serving on a jury. In 1508,
William Fuller and John Fuller, Jr., were named as grantees in a deed of
land in Redenhall. This land was bounded on one side by " Free land of
John Fuller." A copy of this deed may be seen in Egerton Mas., 2713,
fol. 7, British Museum, London.

ANDREW CUNNINGHAM OF BOSTON, AND SOME OF
fflS DESCENDANTS.
By Henry Winchester Cunningham, A.B.
[Contined from page 309.]
James' CuNNiNGHAMt ( William,^ Andrew^) was bom in Boston, 24
April, 1721, and died in Ded-
ham, 6 June, 1795.
_ -. * He was chosen one of the
^^ ^ constables of Boston, 9 March,
^ 1746, and sworn (Rec. Com.
Report, 14, p. 107) ; and in the following Jan. he was one of the
Town Committee to make the annual visitation.
He was deeply interested in the old fire companies of Boston, and
in 1756, and for the five following years, he was captain of the South
Engine Company (No. 8). In 1761, he resigned his position and
• Brother of Matthew Fuller of Plymouth ?
t James^ Cunniugham (No. 7) left a Bible giving a minute record of all his line
(ancestors and descendants) down to the time of his death. This passed to his son
William, and was taken by him to Lunenburg, and is now in the posaeasion of a do*
toendant. The writer has a copy of its records.

retired from the company. (Rec. Com. Report, 19.) At the Town
Meeting of 25 March, 1765, "James Cunningham, Esq.," was
chosen a Fire Ward, and again in the three following years. (Rec.
Com. Report, 16, pp. 138, 164, 200, 233.)
He joined the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1758,
and later in the year resigned, because of his connection with the
Fire Company, which excused him from military service. He re-
joined the Artillery Company in 1761, and was chosen lieutenant
in 1764, and captain in 1768. His portrait, now in the possession
of his great-grandson, James S. Cunningham, of Boston, has been
reproduced in Vol. II. of the History of the Company.
He was identified with the militia, and from 1767 to 1772 was
major of the Boston Regiment. He was a member of the Sons of
Liberty, and was present with his sons William and James at their
dinner on Aug. 14, 1769, at the Liberty Tree in Dorchester. (Pro-
ceedings Mass. Hist. Society, 1st Series, vol. 11, page 140.)
He was married first, in Boston, 4 June, 1742, by Rev. Mather
Byles, to Elizabeth, daughter of Peter and Ann Boylston, who was
born 17 June, 1717, and died 23 June, 1769. Her sister Ann mar-
ried Deacon John Adams of Braintree, and became mother of John
Adams, President of the United States. He was married second, in
Boston, on 19 Jan., 1773, by Rev. Mather Byles, to Martha Chalo-
ner, then in her 45th year. She was the daughter of Deacon
Benjamin Church (H. U. 1727), and sister of the well-known Dr.
Benj. Church, and had married at Newport, R. L, Oct. 12, 1746,
John Chaloner, by whom she had two children.
After his second marriage, and just before the outbreak of the
Revolution, he removed to Dedham, where he lived till his death in
1795. During his life in Boston he attended the HoUis Street
Church.
Children, all by first wife :
10. I. William,* b. in Boston, 22 Feb,, 1742-3.

1741, and d. 2 Jan., 1810. He was variously styled ** tobacconist,"
*' truss-mailer," and ** mercliant," and in the latter part of his life
lived on South Bennett St., in Boston. They had eight children,
six of whom were born in Boston, and two in Braintree.

Sept, 1722 ; and died there. May, 1755. He was styled <* hatter "
and "felt-maker." He married Margaret Palfrey, at the New
South Church, on Nov. 15, 1744 ; and after his death she probably
married Benjamin Phillips.
William' died before his mother, so that he received no benefit
from his father's real estate on Newbury Street ; and his children,
after they became of age, sold out their entire interest (Suffolk
Deeds, Lib. 124, p. 151 ; and Lib. 131, p. 192.)

chant" He was a prominent and patriotic dtiaen, and took an actiye
part in events at the outbreak of the Revolution. Though not
to be confounded with WiUiam Dawes, he was undoubtedly sent
out of Boston by the patriots on the night of April 18, 1775, to
warn the people of Roxbury and Dorchester. (See Rkoisteb, yoL
7, p. 139.) He died in 1809, leaving a large estate.

f^ ^^ the Granary
Burying Ground, Boston. On 16 March, 1774, he was appointed
usher and assistant at the South Writing School (see Rec. Com.
Report, 23, p. 213), and his copy book, dated 25 Feb., 1774, which
is iu the jK)ssession of the writer, is in a fine and elegant style, and
shows him to have been a remarkable penman. In 1777 he was a
private in Capt. Mayors Company, Col. Brooks's Regiment, and
was on duty with the American troops at the Cambridge Arsenal.
(See Mass. Revolutionary Rolls, xxi., pp. 99-101.) 1" early life
he was a merchant, but in 1799 became Secretary of the Mass.
Mutual Fire Insurance Co., a position he held till his death, and he
was a well-known figure among the old Boston merchants who were
in the habit of spending a portion of each day " on change " and in
the Insurance offices. Like his father, he was interested in the old
fire companies, and was for many years one of the Fire Wards, and
the Secretary of the Board.
He joined the Ancit^nt and Honorable Artillery Company in 1786,
and was Commander of the Company in 1793. He was Adjutant
of the Boston Regiment, 1787-9 ; Quartermaster of the First Di-
vision Mass. Volunteer Militia, 1789 to 1793, and Deputy Quarter-

old family homestead at 90 Newbury Street, but in June, 1806,
moved to 1 Somerset Place (now AUston Street), corner of Somer-
set Street, where he lived the rest of his days. At the time of his
death he was residing in the Amory mansion at Elm Hill, which he
had hired for a summer residence. He was twice married ; first,
on 2 Oct., 1783, at Dedham, to Mary (called Polly) Lewis, daugh-
ter of Joseph Lewis* of that town. She was born 2 Oct., 1764,
and died 9 May, 1809. He married for his second wife, at Rayn-
ham, Mass., 11 July, 1811, Abigail, daughter of Col. Zephaniah

17. Joseph'' Cunningham ( William^, William^^ Andrew^) was bom in
Boston, about 1749 ; and died there Sept. or Oct., 1789. He was
a mariner, and was called ** Capt.*' He was probably twice married,
and left one or more daughters by his first wife. There is a record
of a marriage at the New North Church, Boston, 1 Feb., 1774, of
Joseph Cunningham and Mary Nickerson, but Grenville H. Nor-
cross (H. U. 1^75) of Boston, who is a descendant of his second wife
and her first husband, says the name of Joseph Cunningham's first
wife was Dakin. He married second, Mary (Brown), widow of
Capt. Abraham Bartlett, but had no children by her.
lie was probably the Joseph Cunningham who was captain of
several privateers during the Revolution. (See Mass. Rev. Rolls,
Vol. IV., p. 231.)
His daughter probably married Anthony Dumesnil,a watchmaker,
of Marshall's Lane, Boston, and this family later removed to
Cincinnati.
The writer has the record of the Cunningham family to the present time,
and would be glad to obtain the missing dates and names in the foregoing
genealogy, and information of those branches that have moved away from
the vicinity of Boston.

RocKiJiGHAM, Jan. 1837.
About the first of last August a contract was entered into by which I
was to Preach in this place three-fourth of the time. After having sup-
plied them two Sabbath I removed to town, and continued to labor accord-

At a regular church meeting, at the meeting house. Voted to have a

Pursuant to letters missive from the Congregational church in Rock-

Mason Pastor of s'* church on Wednesday the 22**** August 1838 consisting
of Pastors and delegates from the following churches viz.
Grafton Rev. Moses B, Bradford Pastor
Sextons River Rev Nelson Barbour Pastor
Dea William C Sabin Delegate
Springfield Bro Luke Brown Delegate
Chester Rev Silas H Hodges Pastor
Bro Benj* Smith Dele^^ate
Council organized by choosing Rev M. B. Bradford Moderator and Rev.
Silas H Hodges Scribe and opened with prayer by the Moderator.
The Pastor and a committee of the church came before the council and
made their respective Statements. It appeared from them there existed
difficulties and Dissensions in the church which greatly impaired B""® Mason's
prospects of usefulness, and his ministerial influence ; which diminished the
subscription for his salary, and would probably deprive him of the aid of the
Dom. Miss. Society thus rendering his support both inadequate and precarious.
In view of these circumstances the council voted unanimously, that the pas-
toral relation between Rev. Samuel Mason and the Cong Church in Rock-
ingham ought to be and is hereby Disolved.
The council exculpate Bro Mason entirely from any part in the difficul-
ties and Dissensions mentioned, which appear to have existed before his
428 First Church of Rockingham^ Vt. [Oct.
labors commenced, and they cheerfolly recommend him as a fidthfol Brother
in the ministry to whatever field God in his providence may lead him.
It is with deep regret that the council find themselves constraind to
adopt their conclusion : a conclusion which seems not merely to deprive
the church of a pastor for the time being, but to put an end to its prospect
of enjoying the ordinances of the Gospel. And they entreat the brethren
of the church as they regard the welfare of the surrounding community,
the eternal interests of their neighbors their kindred and their families ;
for the sake of Zion and her King, to put away every root of bitterness
from among them, to quench the fiame of Discoid, and tx> exhibit such an
united and lovely aspect that they may hope to obtain and uphold another
Pastor to labour more successfully among them.

Becurring to the bxdef reference made in my last article, under the
heading of the Bristol Apprentice Books, to the family of the cUfltin-
guished early President of Harvard College, I now have pleasure in present-
ing to the readers of the Register a further installment of my notes on
the Chauncy family (see page 337), which may be of interest as confirming
and adding to the pedigree as now knowa.
For several of these references, notably the fragmentary extracts from
various parish registers, as well as several of the brief will notes, I am inr
debted to the kindness of my esteemed friend Mr. J. Challoner C. Smith,
former Superintendent of the Search Room at Somerset House.
The will of Richard Bamers of Barnard's Inn, Holbom, co. Middlesex,
gent., dated 7 June, 1570.
I desire to be buried in the church of St Andrew, Holbom. I bequeath
to the poor of the parish of St. Andrew, 20s. I wish to have a sermon on
the (lay of my burial, the preacher to have Hs. 8d. I give to my brother
John Chauncey, gent., and to my sister Elizabeth, his wife, all my lands
and tenements in P^ssex, called Norsellsc, lyin*; in Gingrave, on condition

IIoli)orn, and Arnold the hosier, 20s. each ; to my man Richard, 15s. ;
and to Mr. Thomas Bolton, 20s. Shonld my brother and sister aforesaid
refuse to pay these sums, then I will that those lands be sold by my be<l-
fellow, Harris, Esq., and Thomas «Iohnson, gent., to pay those sums, and the
remainder to be given to my aforesaid brother and sister. I bequeath to
my brother Chauncey and his wife Elizabeth, the debt owed to me by

The precee<ling evidently refers to John Chauncy, the eldest son and
heir of Henry Chauncy of New Place, in Gilston. lie has been stalled
to have married Elizabeth, daughter of Richard Holliday*, but it would
seem conclusive from Richard Barners' will that her maiden name was
Banters, although she may have been the widow of a Holliday. John
Chauncy was buried 11 November, 1573.t

February, 1655-6, in Ardeley. Henry Chauncey died 18 April, 1 631, aged
58, and was buried in Ardeley Chancel, where his monument now remains.
The will of William Stanford would seem to indicate that this Mary
Burroughs had previously been wife of Ralph Palmer, the brother-in-law
of the testator.
The will of Mary Bishop evidently refers to the same person.
Sara Aleyn* of Hazeleigh, Essex, widow, in her will (proved 1622-3, in

Chauncey, and god-daughter Sara Coys "wch hath since married Mr.

NOTES AND QUERIES.
Notes.
Woodward. — In my article on Nathaniel Woodward, Sen., mathematician and
surveyor, of Boston, Mass., liKGisTKU, Vol. 51, p. 170, 1 made a note of reference
to the fact that Woodward and Sattery,* who made the survey of 1638, were
called ♦♦ obscure sailors" during the dispute over tlie boundary line.
I find that the only authority for this statement occurs in Vol. 1, page 401, of
*'A Summary, Historical and Political of the British Settlements of North
America," by William Douglass, M.I)., London, 17G0. This work says: ** The
Station tree 120 rods distant from the angle where the several colony lines are
set oil", is called Woodwanl & Safl'ries Station from the names of two obscure
sailors who >verc assisting in the survey." This statement was probably made
from hearsay, as it bears internal evidence of error in asserting that they were
assistants, when it Is well known that they were in charge of the survey. Miss
Learnejcl, in her History of Windliam Co., Conn., says that when Massachusetts
employed these men to establish its southern bounds, they called them ** skill-
ful and approved artizans." If they were sailors, the expression ♦* skillful navi-
gators " would have probably been used instead of ♦* skillful artlzaus." In the
seventy years' controversy about that line, the party of the Connecticut side
made an eflbrt to discredit the performance of the men employed by Massa-
chusetts, but without success. During a number of years, the name of Na-
thaniel Woodward frequently occurs in the history of the various early surveys,
* Soo Registeb, ante, page 157.— Editob.

and he is called a mathematician, and was authorized by the court to take charge
of several surveying expeditions. That he stood high in the regard of the court
is seen by the court order of June 2, 1641, which instructs him and three others
** To lay out the South line," or " any three of them so that Goodman Nathaniel
Woodward bee one." Hutchinson's History of Massachusetts, 1795, Vol. 1 , p. 191,
states that an observation was made in 1638, on the Charles Uiver, by Nathaniel
Woodward, but the persons employed were obliged to return for want of
provisions. In speaking of the survey of 1642, Hutchinson is mindful of the
assertion by Douglass, and remarks that ** They are called in the record two able
mathematicians." Hutchinson, Vol. 2, p. 186, states that In 1708 both houses of
Massachusetts declared that Woodward and Saffery were *' two skillful artists,"
and that the boundary line run by them should stand. As the line still stands,
it is safe to conclude that the decision made In 1708, while all the circumstances
in the case were comparatively fresh, should receive more credit than a state-
ment written In England fifty-two years later. Theron R. Woodward.

Kexdall, Peibc?e or Pierck, and Parker : A Correction. [Register, 39 :
17.]— Elizabeth Kendall (Francis*) did not marry James Pierce, but married first,
as the second wife, Bphraim Winship (Edward*) of Lexington, Nov. 9, 1675.-—
Lex. Rec. The error about James Pierce appears in Sewall's Woburn, p. 619.
She married second, Joseph Peirce (Anthony,* John*). June 15, 1698, as his
second wife.— F. C. P., Peirce Genealogy, p. 27; Bond's Watertown, 894; Hud-
son's Lexington, 268 ; Paige's Cambridge, 695, 696. It is not necessary to go
beyond printed authorities to prove it, as, for instance, the following memoran-
dum connected with the settlement of Ephraim Winshlp's estate, and quoted by
Paige (Hist. Camb., 696) and others : *• His honored father-in-law, Mr. Francis
Kendall, of Woburn, in said county, demands these following debts, viz. : that
his son-in-law, Ephraim Winship, in the time of the former war, called Philip's
War, came to his house for shelter, for fear of the Indians, because his living
was then in the woods, remote from neighbors ; and he brought with him his
ancient mother-in-law Reigner, a widow of whom he was to take care ; and that
the said Francis Kendall did keep the said widow Reigner for said Ephraim Win-
ship with provisions, more than a year and a half, at eight pounds per year," etc.
— Mdx. Probate Files. This widow Rayner was the mother of Ephraim Win-
ship's first wife Hannah.
Dec. 22, 1713, Elizabeth Peirce, widow, of Watertown, and Jacob Peirce, a
son, were admitted to administration on estate of Joseph Peirce. She was also
dismissed from the church in Woburn to the church in Lexington.— Hudson
(Hist. Lex., 268).
The will of Francis Kendall, Senior, of Woburn, dated May 9, 1706, contains
the following paragraph, "6thly, to my daughter, Elizabeth Peirce, besides
what I have given her upon marriage and otherwise, I further give her five
shillings as a token of my love. And in case she shall have a child, born of her
own body, I do hereby give unto it the sura of ten pounds, to be paid unto it by
my executors when it shall arrive at the age of twenty and one years."*
The Elizabeth Pierce who was the wife of James Pierce (Thomas,* Tho-
mas*) was the daughter of Abraham Parker, one of the early settlers of Woburn
and Chelmsford, whose wife was Rose Whitlock, and who in his will, dated Aug.
6, 1685, in Suffolk Probate, names wife Rose; sons John, Abraham, Moses and
Isaac, and daughters Maiy (wife of James Parker), Elizabeth Parker (then
unmarried), and Lydia, wife of John Kidder. His widow Rose, in her will
dated September 17, 1691 (Middlesex Probate), names the above sons, Isaac
being then deceased ; her sons-in-law, John Kidder of Chelmsford, and James
Parker of Groton; and her three daughters, Mary, the wife of James Parker;
Elizabeth, the wife of James Pierce ; and Lydia, the wife of John Kidder. That
James Pierce was of Woburn is shown by a deed to his *' brother," Moses
Parker, of Chelmsford, under date of Jan. 21, 1707, where he is called of that
town. There was but one James Pierce in Woburn at that period, and he died
Jan. 20, 1742; his wife, Elizabeth, died Oct. 16, 1715. See also J. L. Parker, in
"Woburn News," Feb. 21 to March 14, 1891; Register, 16: 41; Middlesex
Deeds, It: 416; F. B. P., Pierce Genealogy, pp. 23, 28.
An interesting problem connected with this subject is, who was Mary Peirce,
the granddaughter of Francis* Kendall, named in his will in 1706? She was evi-
dently not the daughter of Elizabeth, who in 1706 had no children, as appears
from his will. Wlliam R. Cutter and Arthur G. Loring.
Woburn, Mass.
• The orifi'inal of this will, owing to its torn condition, is now kept in a sealed enve-
lope in the Probate Office at East Cambridge. The recorded copy, sincjularly enough,
omits the paragraph beginning "6thly.'* Dr. Benjamin Cutter, of Woburn, about me
year 1847, copied the wui, and included in his copy the above extract.

Leavens (ante, page 224). — I made a similar inquiry for the maiden name of
Elizabeth, second wife of John Leavens, who died at Woodstock, Conn., Oct.
26, 1696, In the Register, Vol. 61, p. 361, and at last am able to give the answer.
At my request. Miss Louise Tracy, of New Haven, has examined records In that
city and has perfectly determined the identity of the person in question. She
was the daughter of Edward Preston and granddaughter of William Preston,
and born 29 Sept., 1655.
The records show that Elizabeth Preston, daughter of Edward, married John
Levins, Nov. 23, 1674 ; and the home of this new family was at Stratford. Then
the family was called back to Roxbury, the birthplace of John Leavens ; and again
removed, in the migration that went out from Roxbury, to found Woodstock,
Conn., in 1686. It Is a singular fact that the widow, notwithstindlng her large
incumbrance of children, attracted the attention of Peter Asplnwall, a bachelor
0ome years younger than herself. He, too, had come out in the migration from
Roxbury, and had been in full acquaintance and church fellowship with the
family many years. He married Elizabeth Leavens in the second year of her
widowhood, and she bore to him one daughter. The Aspinwall records do not
speak kindly of this alliance, but she seems to have been a faithful wife, and he
was a man of versatile power and eminent usefulness. He was a pioneer of
Killingly, and a great benefactor to the incipient town and its primitive church.
It is a pitiful fact that there is no monument to him, or even record of his
death. The wife Elizabeth, too, *' fell on sleep " unnoticed, and her grave can-
not be found.
We are glad to have rescued her identity from utter forgetfulness. She
sprang from an excellent family, her career was eminently diversified with ad-
venture, and It becomes her Leavens posterity to honor her memory.

pare a new edition, with some Tery Tsloable and Interesting matter In an ap-
pendix, If sofflclent eoconragement Is given by ad ranee snbscriptlona. It Is
desired that no money, only the address of the subscriber, be sent. In the a|^»endlx
will be printed a list that will show where the boundaries of the home lots of
the settleni can now be f onnd ; and the matter to be added to this book will so
greatly enhance Its value that owners of the first edition will find this new edi-

militia companies up to 1775; members of the assembly; possibly officers and
men who served in the Revolutionary war; and maps of the town at different
periods for 150 years. This new edition of the history will consist of neariy

for 1901 the fifth volume of "Musgrave's Obituary" (Pe— Sta), edited by Sir
Gcorf^c J. Armytae^e, Bart., F.S.A. The sixth and last volume is in the press.
The Hocicty has also issued to the members of the Register Section Vol. II. of
*• The Iteglsters of Bath Abbey," edited by Arthur J. Jewers. This volume gives
the wliole of the burial entries from 1500 to 1800, and concludes with a carefully
compiled index to them, as well as to the baptisms and marriages recorded for
the i>ame period, and given in Vol. I.
Genealogies in Preparation. — Persons of the several names are advised to
furnish the compilers of these genealogies with records of their own families
and other information which they think may be useful. We would suggest that
all facts of interest illustrating family history or character be communicated,
especially service under the U. S. Government, the holding of other offices,
graduation from college or professional schools, occupation, with places and
dateH of birth, marriage, residence and death. When there are more than one
chrlHtinn name they should all be given in full if possible. No initials should
be used when the full names are known.
Leavens.— Uev, Phllo F. Leavens, 15 Grove Terrace, Passaic, N. J., would be
thankful for any items of information concerning a Leavens name, or a Leavens
family, that has not already been sent to him.

ation by Mrs. Henry Herbert Edes, 62 Buckingham street, Cambridge, Mass.
Tlie parent stock, which settled and still resides in Rhode Island and Massa-
chusetts, is practically completed ; as also the story of the descendants of Abed-
ncgo Rlcketson and Gulllermo Rlcketson of the state of New York. Progress
has been made on the branch which emigrated to Nova Scotia, aud some infor-
mation has been obtained concerning the various members of the family who
settled in Georgia and Louisiana ; there are still many descendants, however
(some of them pioneers), who are especially difficult to reach, because they are
widely scattered through western New York, Pennsylvania, the western States,
and along the Pacific coast.

Samuel Slade Benton. His Ancestors and Descendants, By Josiah Henry
Benton, Jr. 1620-1901. Privately printed. The Merrymoont Press., Bos-
ton. 1901. pp. vill.4-364.
Samuel Slade Benton was born at Hanvinton, Conn., April 22, 1777, and
was a descendant of Andrew Benton, one of the first settlers of MUford, Conn.,
in 1639. One handred and fifty pages of this genealogy are devoted to the
ancestors of Samael Slade Benton, and the remainder of the book to him and
his descendants, including coats of arms borne by English families of Benton, a
bibliography, and copious index. The compilation is the labor of the spare
hours of a busy man, and has reached dimensions, under his hands, by no
means at first anticipated. The resultant work is, in fact, a series of bio-
graphical sketches, accompanied by genealogical records, the whole forming a
pedigree evincing the enthusiasm and industry of its compiler. Typographically,
the book is perfect, and the illustrations are of equal excellence.
27ic Ghreene Family of England and America, with Pedigrees. Boston : Privately
printed. 1901. 8vo. pp. 147. 111.
In this beautiful specimen of book-making we have a volume containing, for
the most part, the ancestry of Nathaniel Greene, deceased at Boston in 1714,
carrying back the pedigree to England through the immigrant, Thomas Greene,
son of John Greene of Salisbury and Warwick; and, with respect to the des-
cendants of Nathaniel Greene, treating chiefiy of his sons, Benjamin and Gardi-
ner Greene of Boston. Succeeding the genealogy are copies of early wills and
extracts from parish registers, the volume concluding with additional pedigrees
which, in some lines, descend further than those in the body of the work.
Both the genealogy and the pedigrees are indexed, and the letter-press and
illustrations are artistic.
The Hamlin Family. A Genealogy of Capt. Giles Hamlin of Middletown, Con-
necticut, 1654-1900. By Hon. H. Franklin Andrews. Published by the
author. Exira, Iowa. 1900. 4to. pp. 479. III.
In 1894 the author of this work published Part One of a ** History of the
Hamlin Family," •* commencing the genealogy of James Hamblen, of Barnstable,
Mass., 1689, with the first four generations in America." The present much
more extensive work, designed for the posterity of the ancestor named, rather
than for the general public, is in scope a family history, and not merely a
genealogy. It contains many biographical details, the notice of Col. Jabez
Hamlin, for instance, covering fifteen pages. All accessible sources of inform-
ation have been examined by the author in pursuing his labors on this branch of
the family, and he announces his work in this direction to be, for the present,
brought to completion. He has not been able to prove any relationship between
the James Hamlin of his former work and the Capt. Giles Hamlin of this one,
though their kinship has been by some affirmed. Not the least valuable portion
of the work is the numerous footnotes, consisting of collateral pedigrees.
Paper, print and binding are very fine, and the indices are full.
The Maryland Calendar of Wills. Compiled and edited by Jane Baldwin.
Wills from 1635 (earliest probated) to 1686. Volume I. W.J. C. Dulany Co.,
Publishers, Baltimore, Md. 1901. 8vo. pp. v.+219-|-lxil.
These abstracts, now for the first time collected, have been taken from the wills
found in the will-books among the proceedings of the Prerogative Court of the
Province of Maryland, and their order of arrangement is the same as that in the
volumes from which they are copied. Besides the historical and genealogical im-
portance of the compilation, it will be found valuable in the establishing of titles

to property, as in the abstracts all the facts conducive to this object are caref ally
recorded. The extensive index includes all names of persons and places con-
tained in the wills, as well as in all references ^iven. Such a work as this, be-
sides facilitating research, will introduce to public notice the inestimable records
of early Maryland, and thus arouse the interest necessary to secure their preser-
vation.
The English Ancestry of Gov, Thomas May heio of Martha* s Vineyard^ 1593^1682.
By Charlrs Edward Banks, M.D. . Cambridge, Mass. : Lucy H&U Green-
law, Publisher. 1901. 8vo. pp. 10. 111.
This reprint from the " Genealogical Advertiser" is an advance publication of
a portion of the researches in Mayhew ancestry undertaken for the author's his-
tory of Martha*8 Vineyard, and which he made in England. While much that
was discovered has been omitted from this publication, sufQcient has been
included to give great satisfaction to the many descendants of Gov. Mayhew.
The Descendants of Nathaniel Mowry of Jihode Island. With Supplement. By
William A. MowHY. Providence: Sidney S. Rider, Publisher. 1878; 1900
8vo. pp. 343-1-95-1- Ifi' lU. 50 copies only for sale, price 35.00, postage paid.
Of the Supplement 200 copies, price iJl.OO. Apply to William A. Mowry,
Hyde Park, Mass.
This work, published more than twenty years ago, is known to the public.
The supplement is intended to correct the few errors discovered in the genea-
logy, and also to include additional records of value. Together with this
supplement, there is published, as an appendix, a pamphlet called *♦ The Mowry
Monument," in which is given the evidence furnished by John O. Austin, of
Providence, K. I., showing that Nathaniel and John Mowry were sons of Roger
Mowry, the immigrant of 1631. The book is a model of typography, is finely
illustrated, and thoroughly indexed.
Groups of Palmer Families, from Walter Palmer of Charlestoicn and Rehoboth,
Mass. J Stoninfjton, Votni, Compiled and arran«jed by Miss Emily Wilder
Lkavitt. Privately printed. Boston: David Clapp & Sou. 1901. 4to. pp.
240.
For about forty years Mr. Noyes F. Palmer, of Brooklyn, N. Y., has been
collecting Palmer genealogical records which, having been submitted to the re-
vision of one of our most accoiuplished genealogists, are here published, with
the results of the compiler's work of veriticalion, a labor consisting of investi-
gations of county, town, church and cemetery records in New England, selection
of wills and deeds, and arrangement of biographical notices, numerous and
often of considerable extent. Though some of Walter Palmer's twelve children
died childless, yet llfty-two grandchildren snfllcingly account for the widely
spreading " Groups of Palmers " which the skill and pains of the compiler have
combined into this genealogical whole. The book is printed on heavy paper,
with large type and heavy margins, and bound in green cloth. The reliable
nature of its contents is inferred from the fact that the records accumulated by
Mr. Palmer were found by Miss Lcavitt to be in almost every case correct. One
error, however, has escaped the notice of both, viz. : In page 57 is the state-
ment that '' Walter Palmer married Grace Vose, a daughter of Edward and
Waitstill Vose of Milton, Mass." The printed records of Milton, p, 251, show
that Edward's wife was Abigail; and from the llistory of Milton, p. 583, we
learn that Waitstill was the wife of Thomas Vose.
A History of the Putnam Family in England and America. By Kbkn Putnam.
Descendants of Thomas^ 7th Generation. Part Vlll. The Knickerbocker
Press, New York. 1901. L. 8vo. pp. 100. III.
About four years ago the first volume of this work was finished, and the
system adopted for that volume is also employed in this. In the present part,
in which are concluded the six hundred pages promised to the original sab-
scribers, several Putnam families of western New York are noticed. Mr.
Putnam states that nine parts, at least, will be necessary for the whole work,
and that certainly " one hundred subscribers must signify their intention of
paying for the additional parts to be issued, at the rate of one dollar per part of
a hundred pages, or until the sum of Hfteen dollars has been paid in all."

The Tarleton Family, Compiled by C. W. Tarleton. Concord, N. H. : Ira C.
Evans, Printer, 12 School street. 1900. 8vo. pp. 244.
The Tarletons, whose genealogies, with brief notice of the careers of the
most notable, are set forth in this creditable volume, are chiefly located on the
sea coast near Portsmouth, N. H. The usual tradition of three brothers is
happily explained, in their case, by three sons of the emigrant's father. For
six generations the men were, as a rule, mariners, and the women the wives
and widows of seamen. The seventh and eighth generations have, quite com-
monly, exchanged the sea for the railroad and mechanic arts connected with
that service. The volume is valuable, and it is to be hoped will serve as an in-
centive to other families, never in the light of public life, to prepare and print
the annals and records of their honorable and worthy ancestors.
The indices should have been consolidated to save the reader from weariness.

Ware Genealogy; Robert Ware, of Dedham, Massachusetts, 1642-1699, and his
Lineal Descendants, Compiled by Miss Emma Forbes Ware, of Milton,
Mass. 1888-1898. Boston, Mass. : Published by Charles H. Pope, 221
Columbus Ave. 8vo. pp. 335. Price, $5.00, prepaid, postpaid.
This volume exhibits the result of eleven years* labor by one whose deeply
regretted demise left a large and carefully compiled mass of family annals un-
published. The work, indeed, embodies the researches of a longer period than
this, as it is produced by the revision and enlargement of a pamphlet issued by
Miss Ware in 1887, entitled "Genealogy of Robert Ware of Dedhara, Mass."
* The present publication preserves the compiler's original admirable work
unchanged in language and arrangement as far as possible. An appendix con-
sists of notes on Wares*whose connection with the Dedham family has not been
proved, though probably derived from the same English stock. By way of
introduction, there are three pages of "English Notes," compiled by the
pablisher, principally from documents copied by Mrs. Francis B. Troup. In
the genealogy, also, the cooperation of friends was of great assistance. The
twofold index is all that could be desired, and the book is well printed and
bound in cloth.
Bichard Warren of the Mayflower and Some of his Descendants, By Mrs. Wash-
INOTON A. RoEBLiNG, of Trcutou, N. J. Bostou : Press of David Clapp &
Son. 1901. 8vo. pp. 39.
Twenty pages of this beautifully printed and bound volume have appeared in
the Register for January and April, 1901. These, together with additions, give
the record of five generations, in the male line, of Richard Warren, one of the
signers of the Mayflower compact, respecting whose wife, Elizabeth, it has
been proved that she is not the person she is represented to be in the Warren
Genealogy issued in 1854. Biographical details are numerous in this genealogy,
the notice of Gen. James Warren and his wife, Mary Otis, the authoress, reach-
ing the extent of a sketch. The index is complete.
I'hmily Records; being some Account of the Ancestry of my Father and Mother ^
Charles William Woolsey and Jane Eliza Newton. [By Eliza (Newton)
WooLSEY HowLAND.] Printed for their grandchildren. 8vo. pp. xii.-h266.
Mrs. Howland*s purpose in preparing this volume has been to arrange the
known facts respecting the American ancestors of her parents, without attempt-
ing any research in England. In the prosecution of her work, she introduces
accounts of the various families embraced in her ancestry, the Muirsons,
** Tangier'* Smiths, Shepards, Rowlands, Southworths, Burts, Cheevers, Bills,
Hontingtons, Gagers, Perkinses, Lathrops, Adgates, Newtons and Barrs, with
notices of Hen. William Tyng and Rev. John Keyner, who are also included in
the Woolsey-Newton pedigree. The family chronicles are very pleasantly pro-
duced, with due appreciation of the virtues and talents of many of the pro-
genitors described or mentioned. The volume Is. typographically very fine ; but
as the compilation, as stated in the introduction, was undertaken solely on the
mothor's account and that of the younger members of the family, it may explain
the absence of an index.

Mr. Parsons^s contributions to the volume deserve attention, stating as they
do, among other things, the grounds for regarding as worthless Col. Chester^
English Parsons pedigree; while the genealogical data presented under his
editorship occupy about one-third of the book, and contain several extended
notices of eminent members of the Parsons family. The illustrations are chiefly
portraits, but one of a tomb displays a structure such as would be expected in a
design by the author of *' New Light from the Great Pyramid."
Chneral Israel Putnam and the Battle of Bunker Hill, A Critique, not a History.
By Alfred P. Putnam, D.D. Salem, Mass. 1901. 8vo. pp. 64. III. Map.
This pamphlet consists of eighteen letters written for the Danvers Idirror^ In
1896, and now reprinted without change or addition. The letters discuss the
debateable question as to who was the American commander at Bunker HiU,
advocating the claim of Gen. Putnam. Related topics treated are '' Allied
Armies," ** New England (or American) Army," ** Orders in Writing," Bunker
Hill and Breeds Hill, ** The Command of Massachusetts Men on Massachusetts
Soil," and Nathan Stow's Orderly Book. The writer's sentiments are not to be
attributed to kinship, as he is not a descendant of Gen. Putnam, bat are the
effect of impartial consideration of the facts of history.
A History of Adams County, Ohio, from its Earliest Settlement to the Present
Time. Including Character Sketches of the Prominent Persons Identified with
the First Century of the County*s Growth, and containing Numerous Engravings
and Illustrations. By Nelson W. Evans and Emmons B. Stivers. West
Union, Ohio : Published by E. B. Stivers. 1900. 4to. pp. viii.4.946. Price,
$10.00, freight prepaid. Address, for orders or information, Nelson W.
Evans, 103 W. Second St., Portsmouth, Ohio.
This work is in four parts. Part I., comprising four hundred and ten pages,
is a General History of Adams County, by Mr. Stivers; Part II., also by Mr.
Stivers, consists of fourteen Township Histories; Part III., by Capt. Evans,
contains about one hundred and seventy pages of Character Sketches of Pio-
neers { Part IV., by both writers, is a collection of Biographical Sketches. In
1901.] Book Notices. 451
the history of the County, which in large measure is a history of Southern Ohio,
are embraced, with abundant minutiae, its geology, mineralogy and archaeology;
the conflicts with the justly-incensed Indians; "the Territorial Courts and the
Courts under the Constitution ; its Legislative and Congressional annals ; and its
military records. The Town Histories abound in '* Reminiscences" of a spe-
cially local flavor. In the account of pioneer heroes and heroines, however, one
finds the characteristic feature of the book : anecdotal, unflaggingly vivacious,
surpassing Action in interest, and increasing one's respect for human nature.
The *' Biographical Sketches " of the fourth part, with their valuable genealog-
ical facts, have been selected and edited with care. The "General Index" throws
open to the reader the whole contents of the volume ; and the book is neatly
printed, bound in full buckram, and has about one hundred illustrations.
Civil and Military List of Bhode Island, 1647-1800. A List of all Officers

ment of the Colony to 1800. Compiled from the Records by Joseph Jbncks
Smith. Providence, R. I. : Preston & Rounds Co. 1900. 4to. pp. vii.-f-6o9.
This, like all similar compilations, will prove a very useful work. Here are
found the names of all those whose exceptionable merit procured them the
honors which, in these days, their descendants like to share from the fact of
kinship. It is an admirable work which Mr. Smith has accomplished in putting
on permanent record the names of those who bore so worthy a part in laying the
foundations of this country. Thanks for this volume are not only due to Mr.
Smith, but to the General Assembly, to which, he says, he is indebted for its
publication, Mr. James A. Arnold for the index, and the publishers for the form
in which they have issued the records.

The flrst volume of this Report contains, besides the ** Report of Proceedings
of the Fifteenth Annual Meeting of the American Historical Association, Bos-

sippi," " Of Publications of the Amer. Hist. Association, 1885 to 1900," and
«» Titles of Books on English History published in 1897-1899." The second
volume of the Report is the most important, as also the most extensive, con-
sisting of " The Correspondence of John C. Calhoun," collected under the
direction of Prof. J. F. Jameson, chairman of the Historical Manuscripts Asso-
ciation. The assistant secretary announces that " The association has enlarged
its activities by establishing a Public Archives Commission for the special study
of the character and the means taken for the preservation and publication of
State and national archives."

ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT.
Fellow Members or the New-England
Historic Genealogical Society: —
I fully appreciate the honor which you have bestowed upon
me toKlay, and I trust that when the time comes for me to lay'
down the burden of office, that it may not appear that I have been
unfaithful to the high trust conferred upon me. When I met with
you at our last annual meeting, this chair was occupied by one
peculiarly fitted to adorn it. Rev. Edward G. Porter, A.M., our
beloved associate, was not only a model of Christian culture, but a
man of large administrative ability, although his life work had not
brought this talent conspicuously into exercise. Would that he
were with us to-day, that we might enjoy his genial presence, and
profit by his words of wisdom.
Succeeding such a man as Edward G. Porter, I may well feel
apprehensive of failure to satisfy your expectations, contrasted as
my performance must be with his ; but I promise you to do all in
my power for the welfare of this Society, consistent with other
duties which rest upon me. In my administration of this office, I
shall need your friendly co-operation at all points, and I confidently
trust that we may act together in accordance with those generous
principles which should actuate such a literary fellowship as this.
My predecessor had many plans in view for increasing the usefulness
of this Society, some of which he discussed with me when at my
home, on that last fateful journey which he made to Maine. It will
be my purpose to study these, and, as far as practicable, endeavor
to realize them.
This Society begins the new century with bright prospects of
increasing growth and usefulness. Never before has the pulse

opemtton in New York, Boeiton, Chicago, St- Lotiis, Washington,
Brooklyn, and Newark, as well as Phyadelphia, and in a few weekt
propoeea to have gimllur libraries in Baltimore, Pittaburg', Cleve-
land, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Detroit, Louieyille, JlUwaukeet ^®^
Orleans I Minneapolis, Indjanapt^lis, and Providence, and it is the
purpose of the management at the earliest possible date to extend
the service to every city and town in the United States. In Boston,
which, it is said, '^ is the centre of the finest public libraries in the
world," this remarkable plan has received encouraging support.
Even in the Back Bay district, within a few minutes' walk of the
Public Library, it has already " at least a thousand members."
Let me quote the description of its system. "The Booklovers
Library supplies its members with the newest and best books, and
allows them to keep them as long as they choose ; it delivers and
collects the books at the members' residences ; in the larger cities
and their suburbs the Library's delivery coaches make regular
weekly calls, delivering the very books asked for, and collecting
the books to be returned ; it keeps its members informed prompdy
regarding all new books of special value, or of unusual interest.
Books are delivered in attractive cloth cases, made specially for the
service. AVhen books become soiled or uninviting, they are imme-
diately withdrawn, and new copies substituted. The Library car-
ries all the very newest good books. These are always the best
editions in the best bindings. There is no waiting until some
member returns a book. The Library buys to meet the demand,
no matter how many copies are needed.'' When in fidl operation.
ADDRESS OP THE PRESIDENT. XI
" a member living in any city or large town between Maine and
Colorado can have books delivered and collected weekly at his own
door at precisely the same membership rates as are charged in the
large cities where libraries are located," and members, when trav-
elling, can have books delivered at their hotels, and taken up in
other cities without extra expense. All this can be accomplished
with an outlay of five dollars a year for one book, or ten dollars for
three books a week. Certainly this may well be termed " an up-
to-date Twentieth Century idea."
I have spoken of the future growth of this Society. A few years
ago a man, in this busy bread and butter getting land, was regarded
as queer if he gave any attention to genealogical research. To-day
I look into the faces of an audience not second in intellectual ability
to any which may gather in any hall in Boston during the coming
year, and every member of this assembly has come here impelled
by a lively interest in this heretofore neglected study. Certainly,
if we may judge from the growth of interest in genealogical research
in the past ten years, we may confidently look forward to a much
more rapid growth in the decade upon which we have entered. Of
the work of this Society during the past year, I do not propose to
speak. The full and able reports which have been presented to you,
and which will soon be printed, contain all that can be said, and
are certainly encouraging.
History, with which genealogy is so intimately associated, occu-
pies to-day the high seat in literature. This is largely due to
improved methods of study resulting in superior production, for
which we are indebted in no small degree to the noble work of the
Johns Hopkins University. No longer are we satisfied with material,
perhaps taken at second-hand, and through skilful manipulation
transformed into an attractive structure. Sources must be patiently
sought and studied ; presumable facts critically analyzed and com-
pared, and seductive theories avoided. From what we have already
seen, it is not unreasonable to assume that most of the history of
fifty years ago will have to be rewritten. No work requires more
patient labor nor higher talents than the writing of history, and
this the world is but just finding out. The teaching of history in
our schools is still conducted in a most imperfect manner, and will
be until we have better text-books than we now possess. There
has been, however, a marked improvement on former methods when

all that wae required of the student was to learn by rote a few iso-
lated factSj having no connection with each oiher, that he might make
a display before the School Committee on examination day, that
terrible day which was aseociated in his mind with tlie Day of
Judgment.
To iU part in the work of the New Century this Society dedi-
cates itself^ and looka for^iard hopefully and con^dently to happy
results. May its aims be ever high, and its achievements merit
that most coveted commendation^ "^Well done, good and faithful

The serious illness of John Ward Dean, A.M., Librarian 1872-
'89, and 1892-1901, was announced, when, on motion, it was
Voted, That the New-England ?Iistoric Genealogical Society, in annual
meeting assembled, learns with unfeigned solicitude of the serious illness of
its Librarian, John Ward Dean, A.M., who has displayed in the past forty-
five years a surpassing fitness for the duties of the various positions of re-
sponsibility to which he has been called in the Society, and which he has
discharged with unfailing courtesy and rectitude. The wide scope of hia
acquirements, his accuracy, his prompt and serviceable memory, in regard
to events, persons and localities identified with early New England history,
have long excited its admiration and respect. In his illness, the members
of this Society tender to him and his family assurance of their warmest
personal interest and individual sympathy.
Voted, That this resolution be entered upon the record of this meeting
and a copy sent IMr Dean.
The suggestions of the Council, relative to printing the Proceed-

REPORT OF THE COUNCIL.
Pbepabed by William Taooard Piper, A.M., Ph.D., op Cambridge.
The following report is submitted on behalf of the Council, as
required by the by-laws of the New-England Historic Genealogical
Society :
Almost at the beginning of the year the Society met with a great
and unexpected loss in the death of Rev. Edward Griffin Porter,
A.M., just as he had entered on his second term as President. The
good fortune of this Society in obtaining him for its leader was
proved unmistakably by the results of his first year, and it was with
high expectations that we regarded his re-election. His death, on
the fifth of February, after a brief illness, caused a deep sense of
loss, which was shared by all who knew him. His antiquarian and
genealogical learning, his ability as a speaker and writer, his clear-
ness of judgment and, above all, his genial manner, which disarmed
opposition, formed a rare combination. His place will be hard to
fill. In October, the Society met with another sudden loss, the Vice-
President from Massachusetts, John Elbridge Hudson, LL.B. ; the
pressure of business had prevented his regular attendance at the
meetings of the Council, so that but few of the members had his
personal acquaintance, although all knew of his warm interest in the
objects of this Society.
By these deaths and the continued absence of one of the other
members, the number of working members of the Council has been
much reduced. The By-Laws of the Society now provide that the
President shall be, ex-officioy Chairman of the Council and Chair-
man of the Finance Committee, and he alone has power to call a
special meeting of the Council ; nor is there any provision for filling
a vacancy. In view of these conditions, it seems desirable that the
By-Laws should be amended so that, in case of the death, resigna-
tion or disability of the President, the Vice-President from Massa-
chusetts shall become Acting President, with full power, for the re-
mainder of the year ; or else that, at the next Stated Meeting of the
Society after the death, resignation or disability of the President
has been made known, a committee shall be chosen to nominate
candidates, and that, at the following meeting, a President shall be
elected for the unexpired term ; of course this latter method would
not be used if the vacancy occurred after the Stated Meeting in

The design of the Society to distribute the printed Proceedings
of the Annual Meeting in 1900, was frustrated by the refusal of the
postal authorities to pass a fifth number of the Register through
the mails at second-class rates. It was, therefore, mailed at thini-
class rates, thus raising the extra cost of that number of the Annual
Proceedings to the vicinity of one hundred dollars, the difference be-
tween second and third-class postal rates being seven cents per
pound.
In this connection, and in view of the cessation of Mr. Waters's
Gleanings in the Register, it appears desirable to redistribute the
method of publishing the Register, the Bibliopolist and the Pro-
ceedings, so as to ensure greater economy.
The Ne>v-England Historical and Genealogical Reoisteb
is described in its prospectus as a quarterly of ninety-six pages,
upon good paper. For the first fifty years, the average was one
hundred and twelve pages in each number. Since 1883, when Mr.
Watcrs's Gleanings first appeared, to the present, the average has
been one hundred and thirty-two pages per number. The Annual
Proceedings, since 1896, when the notices of deceased members
were first incorporated, have averaged one hundred and thirty-three
pages of five hundred words each. If this average may be accepted
as permanent, the matter of the Proceedings is equivalent to that of
Mr. Waters's contributions, and can be substituted therefor at a
REPORT OP THE COUNCIL. XVU
Baving of press-work, enveloping and postage. The Council, there-
fore, suggests, for the consideration of the Society, the establishment
of the following conditions, viz. :
I. That the size of the Register be maintained at the average
since 1883, and excess forbidden.
II. That the proceedings of all meetings of the Society in the
months of December, January and February in each year, with bio-
graphical notices of deceased members, be printed in the April num-
bers of the Register.
III. That the proceedings of all meetings of the Society in the
months of March, April and May in each year, with biographical
notices of deceased members, be printed in the July numbers of the
Register.
IV. That the proceedings of all meetings of the Society in the
month of June in each year, with biographical notices of deceased
members, be printed in the October numbers of the Register.
V. That the proceedings of all meetings of the Society in the
months of October and November in each year, with biographical
notices of deceased members, be printed in the January numbers of
the Register.
VI. That reprints of the proceedings and the biographical no-
tices from the Register be incorporated in the Bibliopolists of the
same dates, and thus be distributed ; sending copies of the April
• issue of the Bibliopolist to all members of the Society, donors and
exchanging societies.
In this plan, simplicity and economy combine. The publication
of the Proceedings is secured with promptness and dispatch ; the
biographical notices of deceased members appear in the Register,
where their vital statistics have large value, and are distributed to
the members — a measure considered highly desirable — at the small-
est possible cost, through the Bibliopolist.
Information has been received that the Index to the first fifty
volumes of the Register is nearly ready for the printer ; this will
render that invaluable work more useful than ever, by making its
contents more easily accessible. Progress is making also toward
printing the Index of Waters's Genealogical Gleanings in England ;
and when this is done, the entire work, with a complete index, can
be published by the Society. The preparation of these two indexes,
although under the direction of a committee of its members, is not
at the expense of the Society, except that some of the permanent
fimds are to be invested in the plates.
Most of the standing committees have reported to the Council,
and in their reports may be found the details of some of the work of
the Society. The Library is in fairly good condition, considering
the constant use of certain books. A great improvement has been
made by the appropriation of money from the Bond fund for rebind-

that, although but one meeting of the eommittee hoa been called,
an interesting paper hajs been presented at each Stated Meeting of
the Society, except in February, when the meeting was deferred on
account of the death of the President > and the essairist could not be
present at the later date. The Committee on the Cabinet are able
to make the gratifying report that all the collections in the safe have
been arrang^, classified and catalogued, m that one can readily
learn what there is and '*** '* " *^ lie found* Owing to the en-

tained the neceaaary funda from private aubecription. During the
year seventy-eight new members have been added to the roll of mem-
bership, which now contains the names of nine hundred and fifty-
eight resident members.
Increased shelf-room for books and manuseriptSy and larger spaoe
to display interesting objeetSy are the great present need of die So-
ciety. Let us all use every effort to procure at once the money re-
quired for this purpose, and thus raise a memorial to our late Presi-
dent more lasting than bronze.
The Co^imittee on the Library, through its Chairman,
Charles Knowles Bolton, A.B., reported that it had duly attended
to its duties as prescribed by the Standing Rules and Orders of the
Council during the year now closing. The fact that the by-laws
require this report to be rendered on the fifteenth of December pre-
vents a full report of the purchases of books for the year, but as
the Librarian usually reports the number of accessions and the
Treasurer the cost of the same, it does not seem necessary to dupli-
cate in part their report here.
The chief business of the Committee has been the selection and
purchase of appropriate books, pamphlets, and magazines for the
Library. For this purpose they have had the income of the Russell,
Sever, and Todd funds, a special appropriation of $150.00, and the
proceeds of the sales of duplicates, the net amount of the whole being
about $500.00. In the Library's chosen field, they have purchased
promptly the best books of the year, so that members might find
something new at each visit to the building They have also secured
many volumes, published in earlier years, and needed to complete
our collections.
During the coming year more space will be needed in the refer-
REPORTS OF COMMTTTfiES. XIX
ence department for books. This may be secured by placing new
stacks in such a manner as not to reduce the present seating capacity
of the room.
The Committee on Publications, through its Chairman, Caleb
Benjamin Tillinghast, A.M., reported that the Register and Pro-
ceedings of the Society have been published during the year, as usual.
In accordance with the action of the Society, the Proceedings have
been made a part of the annual volume of the Register. Owing
to the fact that the Proceedings for 1900 included the biographic^
notices of deceased members for two years, the volume is somewhat
larger than it otherwise would have been, and larger than it will be
in the future. This brings all the publications of the Society for
the year within one volume, and makes them accessible by one index.
The publications of the Society have been printed on the same paper
and by the same firm as during the year preceding.
The Committee on Papers and Essays, through its Secretary,
Mr. Charles Edwin Hurd, reported as follows :
No paper was read at the January meeting.
The essayist announced for the February meeting, being unable
to keep his engagement on account of illness, the reading of a paper
was, by vote of the Council, dispensed with on that date.
At the March meeting a paper was read by Commander Allan D.
Brown, LL.D., President of Norwich University, Northfield, Vt.,
on "Norwich University, the West Point of New England," in
which the story of the foundation, development, and present con-
ditions of the institution was interestingly told.
The paper for the April meeting was read by Commander C. W.
Stockton, of Newport, R. I., on "The United States Naval College
at Newport, R. I. ; its History, Aims, and Prospects."
The essayist for the May meeting was Samuel Arthur Bent,
A.M., of Boston, the subject of whose paper was "The British
Monarchy."
At the June meeting Mr. Levi Badger Chase, of Sturbridge,
Mass., read a paper on "The Interpretation of Woodward's and
Saffery's Map of 1642," which called out considerable discussion.
A copy of the map was hung upon the wall, by means of which the
lecturer was enabled to illustrate the line of the survey.
The paper for the October meeting was read by George Emery
Littlefield, A.B., of Somerville, Mass., whose subject was "Capt.
William Pierce of the Ann, Mayflower, and Lyon."
i N. E, HISTOEIG GENIJALOGICAL SOCIETY,
The Rev. Anson Titus, of Soniemlle, Mass*, read a paper at
'he November meeting on " Forgotten Americaoi," in whicli were
Kvived the niemories of manv once digtinguieihecl ^Vjnericans, whose
Glomes have dropped into partial or total obaciirity.
The Reader at the December meethig was Arthur E, Whitney,
q., of Winchester, Mass*, whose historical sketch of "Colooml
fflchcatcr " was listened to with deep interest.
The Committee to Assist the Historiographer, by the Rev.
Silvanus Hayward, A.M., Chairman, reported that it had attended
to its duty by writing, or securing, the following sketches of deceased
members :
Abram E. Cutter and George H Norman, by Mr. William B.
Cutter.
John N. Brown, by Andrew Fiske, Ph.D.
Rev. Wm. S. Hey wood has secured one on Beza Lincoln, written
by Rev. C. L. Morgan, D.D.
The Chairman has written on Jonas G. Clark, and seciured a
sketch of James Barrett, written by Hon. R. S. Taft.
Other sketches are in the hands of different members of the
Committee, which will probably be prepared in season for publica-
tion at the usual time.
Henry Ernest Woods, Chairman of the Committee on Her-
aldry, reported that " Imitation is the sincerest flattery," and it is
with much satisfaction that the Committee on Heraldry has noticed
the adoption, in totOy as well as the favorable comment, by kindred
The Committee on Memorials, by die Editor, Rev. Heniy
Fitch Jcnks, D.D*, unable to present any rei>art of
work aceotnpliahed duri ear* It has held meetings, but
has been unable t^ rct^eive any additional material. As §oon as
some of the gaps now existing can be bridged over, considerable
progress can be made towards the preparation of a new^ volurae.
The committee is hopeful that this may soon be done, since its plan
to have the biographies less elaborate has seemed to be favorably
received.
The death of Rev. Dr* Hazen, one of its members, kst summer,
ba^ been a serious loss to the committee, as weD as to the Society.

societies, of its report upon the subject of Heraldry, published a
year ago, — and that the objection to the report seems to come only
from purveyors of arms to the would-be-armigerous public, and
those who have laid claim to and adopted spurious arms. The
class of queries lately received shows that the study of heraldry is
increasing from year to year, and it is to be hoped it will so continue.
The Coboottee on Finance, by William Tracy Eustis, Chair-
man pro tempore^ reported that the Treasurer's statements will give
in detail his receipts and expenditures for the past year, showing a
balance of cash on hand of $525.05.
The Society has received this year a legacy from Hon. Charles
Lievi Woodbuiy of $100, and Jonas G. Clark, Esq., has added by
his will $1000 to his former contribution of $1000, but it has not
been paid at the time of closing our books.
Albert Crane, Esq., has added $200 to the Thomas Crane Fund,
to be used for the binding of pamphlets.
We are also residuary legatees of one-third of the estate of
Robert H, Eddy, payment of which is promised during January,
1901.
We have deposited, on interest, $3000 in a Trust Co.
The Committee on the Cabinet, by Myles Standish, A.M.,
M.D., Chairman, reported that it learned with regret at the beginning
of the present year that the Council did not find the Society itself in a
position to grant an appropriation to continue the work of catalog-
uing the very valuable contents of the Society's safe.
An estimate was made of the amount of work remaining undone,
which showed that the sum of two hundred dollars would, in all
probability, complete the work.
At this juncture, a lady member of the Society, Miss Helen F.
Eamball, very generously offered to give one-half of the necessary
amount ; and the lady members of this committee. Miss Mary C.
Sawyer and Mrs. Miller, offered to solicit subscriptions from the
ladies of the Society for the remainder of the sum. Their appeal
was generously met, and the necessary amount was soon at the dis-
posal of the Committee, who employed Mr. Frederick Willard
r^arke to continue the work.
The result is that the Committee takes pleasure in reporting that
the catalogue of the manuscripts, manuscript volumes, and all the
material in the safe, of historic or genealogical interest, has now
been completed, except for a small amount of copying in finishing

As the work has progressed, there have been foand a number of
articles which were of value only for cabinet-exhibition purposes ;
these have been separated from the more valuable material^ and will
later be added to the catalogue of such articles made several years
since. There was found also a large number of printed maps, large
and small ; these have been removed from the safe and added to the
collection of maps placed in room two.
The Committee would suggest that it is important that some means
be devised for storing and arranging this large collection of map3
and plans which, either by itself or by means of a simple catalogue,
would enable a given map to be found without the destruction inci-
dent to searching them over to find the one sought.
There is also in room two a cabinet of drawers containing a lar<re
number of engravings, prints and photographs. This collection not
only contains many portraits, but also illustrations of many places
of historic interest. The Committee recommends that the Council
grant a small annual appropriation to the Committee on the Cabinet,
until all this valuable material be made accessible to students of
history.
During the year, appropriate gilt labels have been procured, and
are now being attached to all the oil-portraits in thp possession of
the Society.
In conclusion, the Committee on the Cabinet wishes to congratulate
the Society upon the completion of the Catalogue of the contents
of the safe.
BEPOBTS OF COMMITTEES* XXUl
TiiE Committee on English Reseabch, by William Smnner
Appleton, A.M., Chairman, had nothing to report. The facts are
simply, no money, no work, no meetings.
The Committee on the Rolls op Membership, Henry
Winchester Cunningham, A.B., reported that he had taken the list
of members of the Society as left by the Committee of last year and
added to it the names of all the new members who have accepted
membership during the past year, and that he had marked on the
list all the deaths and resignations of members that have come to
his knowledge.
HEPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON GRAVEYARD
INSCRIPTIONS.
The Committee appointecl by the Society, on Graveyard In
-Criptione, through '''^'"" "^^ ^^ wood, its ChairiDaii^ haa en
deavorcd to be £ittei»uT^ ; a aasigoed it duriog the pMt
year, and ie pleased to report progress, though not to the extent
that eould \m desired. It baa held two meetiogs each djobUi
regularly J ejicept duruig the usual vacation eea^on, and has spared
DO reoiiioiiiiljle amount of pains to advance the work it has had in
charge^ Corregpondenco by circulars, letters, and personal inter*
view to some ejctent^ has been continued with town and city
ofiiciais, and with individuals known or fiuppo^ed to be interested
in what the Committee is seeking to accomplish tbroiighout the
State of JNIagiiachu setts. Also somewhat, and inciden tally, mth
persons and parties in other New England States.
As a result, complete returns have been received from sixteen
(16) towns, some of them models in method and style of execution,
fmd pcn^tial returns from about twenty (20) more, with promise of
completion at a not far distant day. The Committee is informed
that the work has been taken up in about sixty (60) other places,
and is to be carried forward in due time to iJtimate success.
Thus, after nearly two years of continuous and even persistent
effort, by which every town and city in the State has been reached
and appealed to most earnestly, there are still some two hundred
and fifty (250) towns and cities from which no favorable response
has been obtained.
And yet the Committee feels that the work should not be aban-
doned or allowed to fail by indifference or neglect. Its importance
becomes more and more apparent as it is urged forward and its
merits disclosed. Gravestones, not infrequently bearing the only
record of persons and families that have played an essential part in
the development of the life and character of a community or muni-
cipality, are rapidly becoming defaced by the ravages of time, or
injured and broken by wanton or ruthless spoliation. To prevent
threatening disaster and save these registries must be the wish of
every good citizen, of every one certainly that cherishes and would
preserve the name and memory of those who, having done the work
of past generations and laid the foundation of existing civilization
BEPOBTS OF COMMITTEES. XXV
and the civilization of the future, have gone to their rest, and are in
danger of faUing into utter forgetftdnese. Moreover, interest in
this work is manifestly increasing. Activity in it in one locality
awakens interest and activity in odier localities ; and in time, sooner
or later, by faithful effort on our part or on the part of others, the
end sought for will be accomplished. It is to be hoped that a work
so needtful and so well begun will not be permitted to languish or
die out.
The Committee has not been obliged to call upon the Society for
fiinds during the year. The necessary expense incurred for postage,
stationery, etc., has been cheerfully met by the members themselves
or by interested friends. Money, however, will be needed to a
moderate extent for future operations. It has been our hope that
some gentleman or lady, one or more, of means financially, seeing
and feeling the desirableness and value of the work, would volun-
tarily and generously contribute towards its consummation.
Two members of the Committee feel compelled to withdraw from
it at this time. Should they insist upon doing so, their associates
wish to place on record an expression of their deep sense of loss in
view thereof, and to testify to the ability and fidelity with which
they have discharged the duties of their oflSce. Especially would
they do this in respect to their esteemed Secretary, Mr. John J.
May, whose labors have from the beginning been disinterested,
multiform, unremitting, and most valuable.

In 1895 a careful estimate was made of the number of volumes
and pamphlets in the Library. Adding to this estimate the num-
ber since received, we have 27,579 volumes and 26,889 pamphlets,
as approximately the present size of the Library.
During the year the work of arranging and cataloguing the
Society's manuscripts, so long in progress, has been brought almost
to completion. A fuU account of this important undertaking may
be found in the report of the Committee on the Cabinet.
The local pamphlets of a historical nature, for the States of
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island and Connecticut,
which were formerly kept on the street floor, have been bound and
shelved with the local histories of these States during the year.
Those for Massachusetts have been sorted out to be simUarly treated
during the coming year. After these have been added to the
shelves, the card catalogue of the Reference Library should be
completed.

John Varnum Spalding was bom in Chelmsford, Massachu-

from Edward* Spalding, who came from England in 1630. To
him, with others, was granted the township of Chelmsford, includ-
ing what is now the city of Lowell. Edward's son, John', born in
Chelmsford in 1633, served in Capt. Manning's Company in 1675,
during King Philip's war. His son Joseph', bom in Chelmsford,
October 22, 1673, was the father of John*, who was bom in Chelms-
ford in 1704, and was a Lieutenant in Capt. Robert Richardson's
*• Snow Shoe Company," and took part in the Lovell Fight. His
son, Robert*, born in Chelmsford, January 28, 1728, was Lieuten-
ant in Capt. John Ford's Company, was transferred to Zaccheus

Daniel WixtiELD Joses wa» bom in Lee^ New Hamp^bire«
November 7, 1821), the #ofi of Samuel and Augufifci (Wiggin)
Jones. The line of descent from the immigrant arjcej^tur is as fol-
lows : — Pelatiah' Jones (1748-1820) came from England about
176G; John P.* Jones (1772-1850); Samuel' Jones (1805-
1870) ; Daniel* Winfield Jones. Samuel Jones removed with his
family to Stratham, New Hampshire, about the year 1842. The
education of his son, Daniel Winfield, was in the public schools of
Lee and Stratham, and in the Putnam Free school at Newbuiy-
port, Massacliusetts. Samuel Jones was largely interested in ship
timber and other lumbering business, with head-qujirters at Ports-
mouth, New Hampshire, and after leaving school the son entered
into the business, and became an expert in the selection of material
for ships' frames and spars.
In 1853 he left this occupation to accept the position of teacher
of the High School in South Newmarket (now Newfields), New
Hampshire. Two years later he removed to Portsmouth, where he
taught for four years, and then became Master of the Comins
School, in Roxbury, Massachusetts. Here he availed himself of
the opportunity to supplement his early education, by taking various
courses of study in the Institute of Technology.
From time to tune he contributed articles on his favorite studies
to educational journals, and was for a while connected with the
publication of the "Massachusetts Teacher.'' In 1874 he was
transferred, at his own request, to the Mastership of the Lowell
school at Jamaica Plain, which he held to the end of his life. The
school increased under his charge from three hundred pupils to more
MEMOIRS. xlvU
dian eight hundred and fifty. He had the quality of a good teacher
in the ability* to awaken interest in their studies in pupils previously
indolent or indifferent.
Mr. Jones was connected with the educational societies formed
by the Boston teachers, and was a prominent member of the Ameri-
can Institute of Instruction. For a large part of his life he was
much interested in Masonry, and was at various times at the head
of the different bodies with which he was connected. He was a
resident member of the New-England Historic Genealogical Society,
elected in 1897.
Mr, Jones married, in 1859, Emma A. Chapman (adopted
daughter of Deacon Samuel Cleaves of Portsmouth), who with a
eon, Samuel Cleaves Jones, survives him. He died in Roxbury,
November 27, 1898.
Hervey Charles Pechell, of Maresfield Park, Sussex, Eng-
land, a corresponding member of the Society, elected in 1876,
was born in Henley-on-Thames, August 19, 1841, and died at his
town house in London, December 28, 1898. He was the son of
Rev. Horace Robert Pechell, M.A., and Lady Caroline Mary
(Kerr) Pechell, his mother bearing a courtesy title as the daughter
of a Marquis. He was descended from Pierre de Pechels, Baron of
La Boissonade and St. Cran Barr6, in France, through the following
line : — Baron Pierre* de Pechels, Jean Horace* de Pechels, married
in 1575, SaraueP de Pechels, married in 1614, Jean Horace^ de
Pechels, married in 1643, Samuel* de Pechels, born 1644, Jacob*
Pechell, Esq., bom 1679, Lt. Col. Sir PauF Pechell, created a
Baronet, 1797, Augustus® Pechell, receiver general of the Post
Office, 1785, Rev. Horace Robert', born 1792, Her\'ey Charles.*^
The family was established for a long series of generations at
Montauban, in Languedoc, France. They were Protestants.
Samuel* de Pechels was forced to flee from France on the revoca-
tion of the Edict of Nantes, leaving behind two daughters who had
been placed in a convent and educated in the Roman Catholic faith,
and who received from Louis XIV. a grant of their father's lands.
M. Samuel de Pechels settled in Ireland, where he lived many
years, supported by a pension granted by William III. and by
remittances from his daughters.
Hervey Charles Pechell was educated at Woodcote and at West-
minster. From his boyhood he showed a strong interest in gene-
alogy, and in his own county was well known as one of the most
painstaking and accomplished genealogists in England. He miu*-
ried, about the year 1875, Blanche, only child of Sir John Shelley of
Maresfield Park, Sussex. She died before her husband. They had
no children. Mr. Pechell was a most amiable, hospitable and kind-
hearted man. For many years, until shortly before his death, he

after thjit In Boston* In liis Cfirly years he was interested in church
matters, connecting himself with the Baldwin Place Baptist Church
in Boston. With advancing years the partial failure of his hearing
separated him in some degree from active church life. Since about
the year 1877 he was a member of the First Baptist Church in
Boston. He became a life member of the New-England Historic
Genealogical Society in 1871. He was connected with the Ap-
prentices' Library Association, the Old School Boys' Association
and the Veteran Firemen's Association.
He married, October 6, 1841, Mary Ann Berry of Chelsea, who
survives him. They had two daughters, one of whom married Rev.

sippi ; the other married George H. Sutton of New York, but
neither of them outlived their father.
AJr. Hawkes was a peaceable, industrious, honest, hardworking
citizen. Although he passed through trying reverses in his business
life, he never lost his courage or swerved from the path of rectitude.
He died in Boston, November 25, 1899.

Samukl Bradley Noyes, A.M., became a member of this
Society in 1858, and a life member in 1870. He was bom in
Dedham, April 9, 1817, the son of Samuel Noyes and wife Eliza-
beth (Morrill). After attending public schools in Dedham and a
MEMOIRS. Xlix
private school under the management of Hon. Francis W. Bird, he
went to Phillips Academy, Andover, where he fully fitted for Har-
vard University, entering in 1840 and graduating in 1844. After
the custom of the day, he read law in the offices of Hon. Isaac
Davis, Worcester, Hon. Ezra Wilkinson, Dedham, and Hon. Ellis
Ames, Canton. He was admitted to the Bar in 1847, and settled
in Canton, Massachusetts, and there resided during the remainder
of his life. In January, 1850, he married Georgiana, daughter of
James Beaumont and wife Ahigail (Gookin).
Mr. Noyes held various offices in the town of Canton. He was
made a Justice of the Peace in 1849, was Trial Justice, Commis-
sioner of Insolvency in 1853, and Special County Commissioner of
Norfolk County in 1856. From 1849 to 1871 he was a member
of the School Committee of Canton, and at three different times,
ten years in all, acted as Superintendent of Schools. In 1864 he
was appointed by the Honorable Secretary of the United States

ruptcy for the Second Congressional District. He was a charter

was a member of the Massachusetts Agricultural Society, and of
the Bunker Hill Monument Association.
He was a most useful man in the community. His readiness in
gathering information, forming judgment and skilfully presenting
it, either in speech or in writing, enabled him to wield a wide
influence. He died in Canton, January 12, 1900.

the railroad service in this State, notably provisions for the change
of railroad crossings, safety couplers on freight cars, regulations
against discrimination in freight rates, and for improvement in sig-
nals, and precautions enforced against color blindness, — all matters
involving exhaustive examination and sound judgment. He was
elected to the State Senate in 1887 and 1888, and was president of
that body both years. Mr. Boardman's influence upon the railroad

legislation of Massachusetts has probably been as great and iur-
reaching as that of any other man. Since 1890 he was engaged
principally in the practice of law. He was one of the three trustees
of the Robert H. Brigham estate.
Mr. Boardman was a man of commanding presence, strong indi-
viduality, hearty and genial disposition, high character, and aimed
to do everything he undertook in the most thorough manner. He
made his mark in law, politics and business. He was married, in
1862, to Miss Georgia N. Hinman of Boston, who with two daugh-
ters survives him.

William Augustus Bowdlear, son of Samuel and Harriet M.
(Bell) Bowdlear, was bom in Boston, September 11, 1818. His
great-grandfather was a gunsmith in Birminghiim, England. En-
tering the employ of the East India Company, he proceeded to the
East Indies, leaving a large family. One of the sons was Samuel,
who enlisted in the army, came to America, deserted, enlisted in
the American army, and fought in one of the battles. He after-
wards settled in Roxbury, and at one time kept a shop on Newbury
Street. He had a son Samuel, who was the father of William Au-
gustus. This Samuel attended what is now the Roxbury Latin
School. He married Harriet M. Bell, who was descended from
Richard Warren, the Pilgrim, and from John Craft (son of Griffin
Craft) of whom it is recorded that he was the first child born in
Roxbury after its settlement.
The subject of this sketch was educated in the Adams and Boyl-
ston schools. He began his business life at the age of fourteen in
the counting room of Richard D. Tucker & Son, on India Wharf.
He was afterwards in the employ of James Andem and Seth Crosby,
Jr., ship chandlers, and later with Griggs & Weld. In 1837 he
took the place of bookkeeper and confidential clerk with the firm of
Wood & Cook. In May, 1844, he became a member of the firm
of S. G. Bowdlear & Co., in the flour trade, at what is now 192
and 194 State Street, and continued in this business for fifty-five
years, when he retired. He married, June 4, 1846, Hannah
Hazeltine Hadley, daughter of Moses and Hannah (Hazeltine)
Hadley. She was born in Boston, October 5, 1823, and was a
descendant of Anthony Hadley (1694-1792), who settled at Stone-
ham, Massachusetts.
Mr. Bowdlear became a member of the Dudley Street Baptist
Church in 1849. The Dudley Street Tidings^ the organ of that
church, in its issue of January, 1895, says of him : — "He has been
treasurer of the Evangelical Baptist Benevolent and Missionary
Society, and of the Massachusetts Baptist Charitable Society. At
the present time he is chairman of the Trustees of the Gratuity

Daniel Rollins was bom in Dover, New Hampshire, July 9,
1858. He was the son of George Frost Rollins and Mary Bartlett,
his wife. George Frost Rollins was born in Somersworth, New
Hampshire, March 29, 1828. Mary Bartlett was bom in Stratham,
New Hampshire, daughter of Dr. Josiah Bartlett of that town, a
son of H )n. Josiah Bartlett of the same town, who was son of Dr.
Josiah Bartlett of Kingston, New Hampshire, who was delegate
to the Continental Congress from 1775 to 1779, and the first
signer of the Declaration of Independence after John Hancock;
Judge of the Supreme Court of New Hampshire, from 1782 to
1790, and Govemor from 1792 to 1794; he died May 18, 1795.
Mary Bartlett's mother was Helen Eleanor Weeks Thompson,
daughter of Col. Ebenezer Thompson of Portsmouth, and grand-
daughter of Judge Ebenezer Thompson of Durham, who was
Councillor of State, member of the Committee of Safety and Secre-
tary of State during the whole period of the Revolution, and one of
the most active and able leaders in the patriotic cause ; he was sub-
sequently Judge, and held other important offices.

William Wentworth Rollins, who was born February 15, 1794,
and Elizabeth Frost, his wife, daughter of George Frost, Esq., of
Durham. William Wentworth Rollins was son of Daniel Rollins
and Martha Weeks, his wife ; he was a leading man in the town of
Somersworth, several times representing the town in the Legislature,
and was State Senator in 1846. Daniel Rollins, great-grandfather
of the subject of this sketch, was son of Judge Ichabod Rollins
of Somersworth, and Abigail Wentworth his wife ; he was bom
in 1759 ; held various town offices and was the delegate from that
town to the New Hampshire Constitutional Convention of 1791.
Judge Ichabod Rolhns, born July 18, 1722, was son of Jeremiah
Rollins and Elizabeth Ham his wife ; he represented Somersworth
in the Provincial Legislature at the beginning of the Revolution and
up to 1776 ; was Judge of Probate from 1776 to 1784 ; Councillor
from 1784 to 1789 ; and died January 31, 1800. Jeremiah Rollins
was son of Ichabod Rollins (or Rawlins) who was killed by the In-
dians, July 8, 1707. Jeremiah was born in Greenland, New Hamp-
shire, and removed to Somersworth (then Dover) in 1711, and
settled on the farm, which has remained continuously in possession of
the Rollins family, his descendants, to the present time, one hun-
dred and eighty-nine years ; it is one of the finest farms in Strafford
County. Ichabod Rollins, who was killed by the Indians, was son
of James Rollins (or Rawlins) who emigrated from England to Dover
with Capt. Thomas Wiggins in 1633, and soon after settled on the
Rollins farm at Bloody Point (Newington), New Hampshire.
That farm remains still in possession of the Rollins family, and
has been held by them continuously for two hundred and sixty-
five years. This does not look as though New England stock were
dying out !
Elizabeth Frost, wife of William Wentworth Rollins, and
grandmother of Daniel Rollins, was daughter of George Frost,
Esq., of Durham, and grand-daughter of Judge George Frost of
that town, who was appointed one of the Judges of the Court of
Common Pleas, by Gov. Wentworth, in 1773, at the organization
of Strafford County, which office he held till 1791. He was mem-
ber of the Continental Congress from 1777 to 1781, and Councillor
from 1781 to 1784. He was one of the influential men of the Revo-
lution and the decade following. Judge George Frost was the son

Mr. Bugbee received his education in the common schools of

factory in Rhode Island, and afterwards its proprietor. In
1849 he became manager of the Williamsville Manufacturing Com-
pany of Killingly, Connecticut, where he remained for thirty years.
He was chosen by his fellow citizens to represent them in the Gene-
ral Assembly of the State, 1857, and reelected until 1879 except
in the years 1865 to 1869, when he was elected a member of the
Senate, being Chairman pro tempore of that body and virtually
Lieutenant-Governor of Connecticut. In 1871 he became Speaker
of the House. His services to his state during this period were
recognized by both political parties. He served, at different ses-
sions, on the committees of the judiciary, education, banks, military
affairs, probate districts, and cities and boroughs. Especially
during the Civil War he was active as a speaker and counsellor,
strengthening the hands of the administration. From 1879 he
lived in Putnam, at first taking an active part in the business of the
place, and later leading a quiet, studious life, reading books of
science and history, and greatly interested in genealogy and the
early records of colonial history. He was a life member of the
New-England Historic Genealogical Society, elected in 1869.
Entertaining a kindly feeling for the Borough of Danielson in the
town of Killingly, he devised by his will the sum of fifteen thousand
dollars to the free library association of that place for the erection
of a library building, and gave to it also his valuable library of
books.

Charles Franklin Dunbar was born in Abington, Massachu-
setts, July 28, 1830. He was the son of Asaph and Nancy (Ford)
Dunbar. In the course of some genealogical researches which he
prosecuted with interest in the later years of his life, he satisfied
himself that Kobert Dunbar of Morayshire, Scotland, who came to
this country about 1655, and died in Hingham in 1693, was his
earliest ancestor on this side of the Atlantic.
He entered Phillips Exeter Academy at the age of fourteen,
finished the course there, joined the freshman class at Harvard in
1847 and graduated in the class of 1851. After several years of
business life at the South and later in Boston, he turned his atten-
tioii to the study of law, and was admitted to the Massachusetts bar.

Dunbar created for his suJiject a place in the University ap|Mnoprtate
to ita importance, and in eighteen years of active sen ice success* '
fully developed a complete system of instruction in political economy.
Few men have ever brought to the complicated problems of this sub-
ject a more dispassionate temper, or a more determined spirit to hold
their studies free from the political entanglements of the day.
In 1884, on the nomination of James G. Blaine for the Presi-
dency, a change was thought desirable by those in control of the
Advertiser^ and Professor Dunbar took up once more the editorial
control of the paper during the presidential campaign, and exhibited
all his former power as a calm, sagacious and fearless director of
public opinion.
In addition to the duties of his professorship he ably filled the
important administrative offices of Dean of the College faculty for
six years, from 1876 to 1882, and was the first Dean of the new
faculty of Arts and Sciences from 1890 to 1895. He was chosen a
trustee of Phillips Exeter Academy in 1884, and served as President
of the Board from 1895 to 1898. He became a resident member
of the New-England Historic Genealogical Society in 1895. He

Hon. Oliver Heber* Durrell was born in East Cambridge,
Massachusetts, September 11, 1847. He was a descendant of
Phillip* Durrell, an early settler of Kennebunk, Maine, through
Benjamin* and Judith Perkins, Benjamin' Jr., and Hannah Kim-
ball, Thomas^ and Esther Towne, and Oliver B.* and Betsey G.
Peabody. His father, Oliver B.*, was bom at Kennebunk, Novem-
ber, 24, 1821, married Betsey G. Peabody in Cambridge, November
26, 1846, and died in Cambridge, August 21, 1856. Mr. DurrelPs
mother, who survived him, was born in Kennebunk, November 25,
1827. He married at Greene, Maine, October 18, 1871, S. Ger-
trude, daughter of Rev. E. G. Eaton, who also survived him. Mr.
Durrell left three children, Maude, who married James Hubert
Grover of Lynn in 1897, Ralph and Harold.
At the early age of fourteen years, Mr. DunxU began work as a
clerk in Boston at $1.50 per week. He gradually worked up until,
at the time of the great fire in 1872, he held a good position with
Brown, Dutton & Company, importers and wholesale dealers in
dry goods and small wares. After the fire this firm dissolved, and
a new one was formed with the firm name of Brown, Durrell &
Company. The new firm began business December 17, 1872, at
105 Chauncy street, and was successful from the beginning. The
business soon required more room than its modest quarters afforded,
and it was moved the next year to 60 Summer street, in a building
which had formerly been the home of Edward Everett. At the
time of Mr. Durrell's death he was the senior partner, and the
constantly increasing business had grown to such proportions as to
require 150,000 square feet of floor space for its accommodation,
and was located in the large building erected for it at the corner of
Essex and Kingston streets.
Mr. Durrell was deeply interested in religious, charitable and
educational work. He was a member and trustee of the Harvard
Street Methodist Episcopal Church of Cambridge, and for several
years prior to his death was the superintendent of its Sunday-
school, succeeding the late Henry Oscar Houghton. He was
president of the Cambridge Young Men's Christian Association,
one of the chief contributors to the fund for the erection of its pres-
ent building, and chairman of the building committee ; and he
served in the State organization as chairman of its executive com-
mittee. He gave freely both of his time and money for city mis-

George H* Norman, of Newport, Rhode Island, a resident
member, 1889, died at Palm Beach, Florida, Feb. 4, 1900. He
was born at Newport, Jan. 1, 1827. His father and grandfather
were residents of that city. He was educated there, and in 1859
married Abby Durfee Kinsley. Their children are Abby, the wife
of Frederick H. Prince, of Boston ; Hugh K. ; Edith, the wife
of W. R. Hunter, of Newport ; George H., Jr. ; Bradford; Guy;

years. He turned his attention subsequently to civil engineering,
and achieved both fame and fortune as the builder of waterworks.
He began by building gas worlcs, and was the successful bidder for
supplying these works in many places in this country and abroad.
He was more successful in the building of waterworks. When he
entered the field these works were a comparatively new undertaking
in this country, and required courage and ample resources in dealing
with the problem of their introduction. When municipal authori-
ties were undecided, he took the risk himself and supplied the capital,
in addition to the skill and energy for the prosecution of the work
involved. He supplied in his career more cities with waterworks
than almost any other engineer of his time. In addition to the
manifold business in his charge, he took a deep interest in public
affairs, and was a devout lover of his country, with an abiding faith
in the permanency and beneficence of its institutions.
The local waterworks company of his native city will remain his
monument. Reading the signs of the times accurately, he believed
that Newport was destined to be the leading summer resort of
America, and that she must not depend on the primitive wells and
cisterns of other generations if she would furnish future comers
with a proper supply of public water. He succeeded, against great
opposition, in accomplishing his object. He made a proposition to
lay the pipes and build the pumping stations at his own expense,
in return for certain exclusive rights. The proposition was accepted,
and the city was furnished soon after with a plant second to none in
New England. With the introduction of the public water system,
Newport took a new lease of life as a summer resort, and as long
as he lived his interest in this project was intense.
His character is well described in the words of a friend : — " He
seemed to me an extraordinarily interesting man, from his vitality
and originality of intellect. Few people whom I have known have
had so high a pressure of life to the square inch, if I may use the
expression. His talk was far-seeing and profound upon all subjects
upon which he undertook to converse. He had the inherent distinc-
tion that comes from superior gifts, and the conscious force of
power. At the same time he had a streak of keen humor and a
great sense of the actualities of life. He thought things, not
words."
He left a large estate. He completed the arrangement of all
needed details for the creating of a trust fund for the equal benefit
of all the members of his family, and he also arranged that his
various business enterprises should be continued.

Thereafter he and his wife spent the greater part of their time in
travel, chiefly abroad, that he might have the benefit of the foreign
baths in summer, and of a warm climate in winter. In this way he
attained and preserved a degiee of health which enabled him to
enjoy and accomplish very much. He bore pain with fortitude, and
accepted his limitations with such cheerfulness that few of his
friends in the least realized his condition.
Mr. Farlow was interested in art, in heraldry, and in the study
of modem languages. He was extremely industrious, painstaking
and systematic, untiring in research, and had a positive genius for
detail. These traits served him well in the life he was obliged to
lead, and made his work not only delightful to himself but valuable
to those who have received the fruits of his labor. His chief
interest, however, was in genealogical research. He studied the
ancestry of several families with which he was more or less connected,
among them the Harris, Bliss, Burr, Blanchard and Frye families,
and in addition collected a large amount of information, now in
possession of this society, concerning the Ballard family. He was
an ardent advocate of cremation, was one of the original subscribers
to the Massachusetts Cremation Society, and contributed liberally
to its advancement.
In private life he was a dutiful and affectionate son and brother,

purchased a villa and began the necessary alterations upon it. On
the eve of their completion, both Mr. and Mrs. Farlow were taken
ill with grip. Pneumonia followed in both cases. Mrs. Farlow
died Jan. 28th, and Mr. Farlow Feb. 6, 1900.

James Edward Greenleaf, elected a member of the New-
England Historic Genealogical Society in 1899, was bom in Port-
land, Maine, August 2, 1832, and died in Charlestown, Massachu-
setts, March 7, 1900. He was the son of Rev. Patrick Henry and
Margaret Laughton (Johnson) Greenlcaf. His line of descent
from the immigrant ancestor was as follows : Edmund* , came from
England and settled in Newbury, Massachusetts, in 1635 ; Stephen*,
born about 1628, came to this country with his father; John^,
Daniel*, Hon. Jonathan*, Moses*, Hon. Simon', Rev. Patrick
Henry % James Edward®.
He received his education in the Winthrop school in Charlestown
and in the private school of Duncan Bradford. After leaving
school he was in the employ of the shipping house of Andrew and
Charles Cunningham, ship owners in the Mediterranean and North
of Europe trade, and later served with the house of Zipcy & Wyman,
in the trade with Turkey. When nineteen years of age, he went to
Chicago and engaged in the forwarding and commission business, in
partnership with William F. DeWolf, under the firm name of
DcWolf & Greenleaf. Two years later he returned to the East in
the interest of certain Western railroads, and was located for a time
in New York, but afterwards, and permanently, in Boston. Com-
mission business and insurance occupied his later years. As a
member of the Boston Light Infantry he performed garrison duty
at Fort Warren in 1861, and later was commissioned Captain of
Company G, Seventh Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Militia.
He was active in musical circles, having been organist and director
of music for twenty seven years in prominent churches of Boston
and vicinity. He inherited strong literary tastes, was a constant
reader of history, and compiled and published (1896) 27^6 Gene-
alogy of the Greenleaf Family.
Mr. Greenleaf married, in 1853, Mary Elizabeth Willard of
Charlestown, and had three chQdren : Robert Willard Greenleaf, a
physician in Boston ; Ellen Willard Greenleaf and Mary Willard
Greenleaf, an artist in Boston.

Church Academj, hu<m. ^^&ti m ioi?ton Latin School, which he
left at the age of fifteen. In l?5i4 he became a cleric in the drug
etore of liobert Fenellj, at the corner of Prince and Salem streets*
When in 18*28 Mr, Fenell)' died, he puroliaeed the business and
conducted it for four yearfl, and he entered into partnerel^ip with
R*rcderick Doane in the wholesale drug business- This partnersliip
tas dissolved in al«out a year. Two years later he became a part-
ler of Daniel Bartlett in the flour business. Mr. Bartlctt was
Buceeeded hj Joseph Mead, and be, later, bj Captain Jairus Beal of
Hingliam. Under the firm name of Lincoln & Beal, the flour busi-
ness was conducted for thirty years at the comer of Conamercial
and Richmond streets. Shortly after Mr. Beal's death, the store
was closed and an office opened for commission business, first in the
old Exchange building on State Street, and then on Exchange
Place, where up to his eighty-seventh year Mr. Lincoln spent a few
hours of each day supplying old customers, some of whom for more
than half a century had relied on the sterling quality of his cereals.
Mr. Lincoln was never married. For some twelve years previous
to 1856, he made his home with his niece, Mrs. David Morgan of
East Boston. Here, with the Hon. David Morgan and others, he
united, about the year 1847, to form the First Unitarian Society of
East Boston. In later years, residing with his brother, Warren
Lincoln, on Salem Street, he was a regular attendant at the Old
South Church ; but on removing with his brother to Appleton
street, he became a member of the Church of the Disciples, a rela-
tion which continued to the time of his death.
Of the character sustained by Beza Lincoln through his long life
of business activity, it would be difficult to speak in terms of exag-
geration. Under all circumstances and at whatever cost to himself,
he was the very soul of honor. To be absolutely just in every
business transaction was a necessity of his nature. But his justice
was not more marked than his humanity and overflowing generosity.
To many benevolent organizations he was a constant giver, and no
MEMOIRS. Ixiii
worthy case of need ever appealed to him in vain. To the unfortu-
nate he ministered, not as a duty so much as a sacred privilege. It
was not only they who enjoyed his closest intimacy, who recognized
the rare beauty of the spirit which shone through a countenance of
perpetual benediction. He was a most ardent patriot and devoted
Republican. An intense lover of Boston, he was identified with
many associations for the public welfare, and with a few of these,
such as the Volunteer Firemen's Association, the Young Men's
Benevolent Society, and the New-England Historic Genealogical
Society, of which he became a life member in 1878, he retained
connection till his death.
For unostentatious but efficient service in every cause his judg-
ment approved, for ceaseless devotion to the highest and best in
every phase of life, for every virtue which gives to manhood grace
and strength, Beza Lincoln will be cherished in memory as one of
the ideal men whom to know was to honor and love.

William Henry Kelley, a corresponding member of this
society, elected in 1858, was born in Boston, May 9, 1819, and
was the son of William Robinson and Nancy (Hancock) Kelley.
His ancestor, Thomas* Kelley, came to America with the British
troops during the French war of 1755-62. He married in Brent-
wood, New Hampshire, before 1761, Mary Edgerly of Exeter,
New Hampshire. He was lost at sea in 1767. His son William*,
bom in Brentwood in 1764, married Elizabeth Robinson of Exeter,
and their son, William Robinson', born in 1795, was the father of
William Henry*, the subject of this sketch.
From the age of eighteen to thirty-six, William Henry Kelley was
engaged in the clothing business in Boston. In 1842 he married
Anna Cleveland of Walpole. Soon after his marriage, as he him-
self records, " he decided to take his school books and commence
where he had left off and make up what he had lost in leaving
school. To find time for this purpose he arose at six o'clock the
year round, and did his studying and reading before breakfast.
After completing his academy books, he obtained the course used at
Harvard University, and read translations of the Greek and Latin
books used there, and, omitting the mathematics, he got a fair
knowledge of the most of the curriculum."
After the death of his first wife, in 1843, he married, in 1854,
Henrietta Maria Hancock of Boston. In 1855 he removed to Elk
River, Minnesota, and engaged in farming ; but after some months
he concluded that farming was not his strong point, and walked
thirty-five miles to St. Paul, where he found employment in a
clothing store. In 1860 he obtained a position in a banking house,
which became the First National Bank, and remained there for more

JOHM Nicaouis Bsow^, A.M., t^ oldest 9<m of John Carter
Brown and Sophia Augusta (Brown) Brown ^ a member of the mell-
IrDown Brows familj of Bhode lalsod, was bom at ProTidaioet
Bhode Iiland* on I>ec, 17, 1?C1. 3Ir. Brown was a direct de-
Bcendant of Chad Brown, who co-operated with Roger Williams in
settling the Providence Plantations. His great grandfather, Nicho-
las Brown, was a prominent figure in Rhode Island daring the Rer-
olution. He opposed the unjust taxation of the colonies, and was
one of the first to protest against the unlawful presence of British
vessels in Narragansett Bay. He assisted in furnishing supplies,
munitions of war and recruits to the Continental army, was a men-
ber of a committee appointed by Congress to build ships for the
Continental navy, was one of the commission to adjust accounts
between Rhode Island and the United States, and also took a promi-
nent part in securing the Constitution of the United States for hifl
state. Nicholas Brown, the grandfather of the deceased, was the
donor to Brown University of Hope College, and after him Brown
University is named. The University Library in Providence was
the gift of John Carter Brown, the father of John Nicholas Brown.
The subject of this sketch received his early education mainly at
the hands of private instructors. In 1881 he entered Brown Uni-
versity, but after two years was compelled to leave on account of
his health. In 1895, however, the Faculty by special vote con-
ferred upon him the degree of A.M. Mr. Brown was much inte^
estcd in political and social questions, and while he was not " in
politics," as the phrase is understood, he was in 1888 chosen smd
served as a presidential elector on the Republican ticket. Possessed
of large wealth, the care of which occupied most of his time, he was
KEMOIBS. Ixvii
a generous contributor to those objects which met his approval and
excited his interest. It was through his great generosity that the
Public Library was made possible.
In 1897 Mr. Brown married, in Newport, Rhode Island, Miss
Natalie Dresser of New York. He leaves one child, a son, John
Nicholas Brown, who was bom in February, 1900. Mr. Bro^vn's
home was in Providence. He had also a house at Newport, and

He fitted for college at the school of Mr. Epes S. Dixwell, and was
graduated at Harvard College in the class of 1863. In 1864 he

Samuel Snow, Ph.B., LL.B., of Cambridge, Mcissachusetts,
who became a member of this Society in 1879, was the eon of Dr.
Caleb Hopkins Snow, author of a well-known " History of Boston,"
where he resided, and Sarah (Drew) Snow of Duxbury. Samuel
Snow was bom in Duxbury, November 18, 1832. He was a de-
scendant, on his father's side, of Nicholas Snow, who came over
from England to the Plymouth Colony in the ship "Ann" in 1623,
and Constance Hopkins ; the line of descent from the immigrant
Nicholas*, running .through Steven*, Micaja^, Micaja*, Prince*,
Prince', -Caleb Hopkins'. On his mother's side his lineage ran
back to William Bradford, the second governor of Plymouth.
He received his early education in the public schools of Boston,
and fitted for college in the English High and Latin Schools of the
eame city. He was one of the early California adventurers, going
there in July, 1849, before he waa seventeen years of age. There
he remained for several years, prospecting for gold and sharing the
privations and perils of that unsettled period, of which, however,
he cherished many interesting and pleasant recollections. At the
organization of the " New-England Associated California Pioneers
of '49," he was elected President, a position which he continued to
hold until his decease.
Returning from California, he entered Brown University, Provi-
dence, Rhode Island (at which institution his father had studied,
graduated, and taught, years before), finishing his course in 1856.
He became a member of the Harvard University Law School in the
autumn of the same year, receiving his degree in 1858, from which
date he was a practising lawyer in Boston.
Many years ago he settled in Cambridge, and though inclined by
nature and cultivated taste to lead the quiet life of a scholar and
thinker, attending to the more unobtrusive duties of his profession,
he yet took an active interest in public affairs and was earnest and
diligent in his eflforts to sustain and promote whatever was condu-
cive to public order and the well-being and happiness of all classes
of people. He was elected a member of the Common Council of
his adopted city in 1867, 1868 and 1871 ; and in 1872 and 1873
one of the Board of Aldermen ; in both which positions he served
with recognized efficiency and to the satisfaction of his constituents.
His successors on the latter Board for the year 1900 testify to his
ability and faithfulness in public office, regarding him as a safe
adviser and counsellor, sharing the confidence of those associated
with him ; and to his worth in the more private walks of life, among
those who knew him best, as an agreeable companion, easy in con-
versation, sensible in his conclusions, and well informed on many
subjects. Greatly beloved by his friends, of whom he had a large
circle, his death was deeply lamented. He was a pewholder in the
Old Cambridge Baptist Church, and for many years served on the
Prudential Conunittee of the Society represented by it.

grathuitcd in the famous class of 1844, w*liieli included in ita ranks,
Dr, Benjamin A p thorp Gould, Francis Parkman, Leverett Sal ton-
stall, Robert Codman and other prominent men. While in college,
he was a member of the Institute of 1770, of the Hasty Pudding
Club, and of tlie PorccUian Club. He was subsequently elected an
honorary member of the Pla Beta Kappa. He was secretary of hia
class from the time of his election, March 18, 1844, until hia death.
In 1869, he prepared and printed a series of biographical notices of
the members of the class; and in 1896 he brought out a second
edition which is a model of what a class history should be. Its
title is The Class of 1844, Harvard College, Fifty Years after
Graduation. From its pages the materials for this notice have
been almost wholly drawn.
In 1844, Mr. Wheelwright made a voyage to South America,
where he remained six mouths. Soon after his return, he entered
the Harvanl Law School, and having completed his studies in the
office of Sohier and Welch, in Boston, he was admitted to the Suf-
folk Bar, April 17, 1849, but he never practised. In the autumn
of 1849, he went to Europe, where he studied art, and traveled on
the continent. He was in Paris at the time of the coup (Tetaty
December 2, 1851. In September, 1855, he went again to Europe
to pursue the study of art under Millet.
On the twenty-third of December, 1869, Mr. Wheelwright mar-
ried Isapliene Moore Luyster of New York, a descendant of one of
the old Dutch families which emigrated from Holland in 1656, and
which finally settled at Newtown, Long Island, New York. He
always had his residence in Chestnut Street, Boston, during the
winter, and, for more than thirty years, at Cohasset during the sum-
mer and autumn. In September, 1876, Mr. Wheelwright published
in the Atla7itic Monthly^ an article entitled Personal Recollections

of Jean Frangois Millet. Soon after, he was appointed chairman
of the sub-committee of the Overseers to visit the Fine Art Depart-
ment of Harvard University, and at about the same time accepted
the position of art critic of the Atlantic Monthly.
Mr. Wheelwright was a member of The Colonial Society of Mas-
sachusetts, of which, for three years ending with his life, he was the
president. Beside other contributions to its Transactions, he pre-
pared admirable memoirs of his friends and classmates, Francis
Parkman and Dr. Daniel Denison Slade. He was also a member
of the Archaeological Institute of America, the American Historical
Association, and many other societies, associations and clubs. His
last literary work was a paper entitled The Lowell Pedigree, the
proof of which he revised just before his fatal illness. It appeared,
after his death, in the July number of the New-England Historical
and Genealogical Register. He died in Boston, May 9, 1900.

In 1823, when four years of age, George L. Balcom went with
his parents to live in Lowell, Massachusetts, and it was there he re-
ceived his early education. He attended the Westminster Academy
and from there went to Harvard College, when but sixteen years of
age. After leaving college he entered the mercantile arena and for
a time was in the hardware business in Boston. Later he went
into a similar business in Philadelphia, but after a year returned to
Massachusetts. Two years later he removed to Proctors villc, Ver-
mont, where he was employed as book-keeper for the firm of Gilson,
Smith & Co., and in 1850 was admitted one of the partners. Seven
years later he disposed of his interest and bought the Sanford &
Kossiter mill in Claremont, New Hampshire, which he operated up
to 1899. During this time, in addition to operating the Sullivan
mill in Claremont, he was proprietor of the woolen mill in Proctors-
yille.
During Mr. Balcom's residence in Proctors ville, he represented
the town in the legislature in 1855-57, and after his removal to
Claremont he was a member of the legislature in 1883-84, and of
the state senate in 1889-90. He was a prominent churchman, and
had been a delegate to the grand convention of the Protestant Epis-
copal church in the United States since 1871. He was for many
years trustee of the Holderness school for boys, and was a member
of the New Hampshire Historical Society. In 1884 he was delegate
to the Republican National Convention in Chicago. In 1868 he

Henry Lyon, A.M., M.D., became a member of this society in
1866, and a life member in 1870. He was born in that part of
Needham, Massachusetts, which is now Wellesley, December 16,
1814, the son of Lemuel Lyon by his wife Thankful. The Lyon
family of Needham came from Milton. In 1826, Dr. Lyon, witli
a maternal uncle who ever maintained a fatherly interest in him,
went to Havana, Cuba ; but being desirous of a more complete edu-
cation, he returned and prepared for Harvard University, where he
graduated in 1835. He then entered the Harvard Medical Schooly
graduating in 1838.
He settled in his profession in Charlestown, and continued there-
in for thirteen years ; when he entered into business with Gage,
Sawyer and Co. He retired from business in 1861, from which
time, with leisure, he pursued those studies and employments which
gave him delight. During the Civil War he was active in promot-
ing enlistments and caring for families which may have stood in
need. He was ever interested in the public schools and in the af-
fairs of the people, was active in behalf of things which make intel-
ligent and patriotic citizens. In 1841 he married Caroline Marga-
ret, youngest daughter of A. R. Thompson. She died in 1854,
MEMOIRS. kxiii
leaving a son and four daughters. In 1856 Dr. Lyon married
Elizabeth Thompson, eldest sister of his former wife, and widow of
Dr. J. Sternes Hufd. She deceased in 1873. Dr. Lyon died May
13, 1900. Dr. Lyon was representative to the General Court, and
during the Civil War was appointed a special agent of the city of
Charlestown to visit the camps and hospitals, wherever Charles-
town soldiers chanced to be. H. W. Lyon of the U. S. Navy is
his son. Three of his daughters married naval officers, and the
youngest married Dr. Edward J. Fisher. There is literature con-
cerning Dr. Lyon in "Memorials of the Class of 1832, Harvard
University," and the "Harvard Graduates' Magazine" contains an
obituary. He was a true citizen, cultured and helpful to his city
and the Commonwealth.

Abram Edmands Cutter, a resident member, 1861, life mem-
ber, 1873, died in Charlestown, Massachusetts, May 14, 1900.
He was bom in Newburyport, June 24, 1822. His father Abra-
ham' Cutter (Jacoby^ Daiiiel,* EbenezeVy* Nathaniel^* Richard^)
was for many years a resident of Saco, Maine, whither he had
removed from Newburyport. The mother of Abram E. Cutter was
Mary Gibson, a native of Newburyport.
The education of Mr. Cutter was acquired in the public schools
and in Thornton Academy, Saco. His first business experience was
in a store where the selling of drugs was combined with the sale of
books. While connected with this establishment he made two voy-
ages to Europe in a sailing vessel, and spent another term in the
academy. In 1843 he came to Boston, where he was employed in
the drug store of William Brown, corner of Washington and Eliot
streets, and remained there and in the same business in another loca-
tion on Washington street, till his removal to Charlestown in 1852,
where he was a bookseller and stationer for a number of years
under the firm name of McKim and Cutter, and for a still longer
period, till 1875, under his own name and proprietorship. He
published in 1867 the elaborate edition in one volume oiThe Works
of Anne Bradstreet in Prose and Verse^ edited by John Harvard
Ellis, an effort very creditable to the taste and antiquarian enthusi-
asm of both gentlemen, and which was accomplished at considerable
expense to the publisher for the engi-avings and letterpress.
The subject of this sketch served for sixteen consecutive years,
from 1857, as one of the school committee of Charlestown, and
after the annexation to Boston, for nine years as a member of the
Boston school board. In 1877 he was the only one elected on his
ticket, the use of his name by the Democratic party at that time
being a complete surprise to him, as he had before always acted
with the llepublicansi and by a curiouB whirligig in politics, in that

year, he was unwittingly drawn into what waa to him the wtg^H— »
act of defeating at the polls a lady for whom he entertained die
highest respect. He was therefore best known as a euppoitsr tf
the cause oif education and a cham^on of the puUic ime aohool sfih
tem. He possessed a conciliatory dispoeitiony and a p<midarilf
which extended to all classes of the ancient oonunnnity when hi
lived. He was identified with and interested in the yarioiu load
charities and institutions of his part of die citji and wma actbely
connected with the Harvard Unitarian Chnrch. From its bqpb"
ning he liad been the cleric of the Winchester Home for Aged W^
men, and his annual reports were modeb of literaiy exoelfcace,
attractive in their interest and tender in their sentiment for thoss
whose age and loss of relatives had brou^t them to a place where
they found the comforts of a good home and congenial companicA*
ship. Mr. Cutter was also the author of sundry occasional verses
and articles, and collected a library supposed to contain nmny rare
volumes.
It was the good fortune of the present writer to be acquainted
with Mr. Cutter, and it is a delight to pay a tribute, however
slight, to his genial character and his kindness of heart. His public
bequests were $1,000 immediately to the American Unitarian Asso-
ciation, and half of the residue of his estate upon the decease of his
widow. The other half of the residue to be given to the Boston Art
Museum. Other bequests are $10,000 to the Thornton Academy;
$4,000 to the Boston Public Library, with such books from his
library as his wife does not wish to keep ; $2,000 to the Dyer Li-
brary Afsociation of Saco ; $500 to the Laurel Hill Cemetery Asso-
ciation of the same place; $4,000 to the Newburyport Public
Library; $3,000 in trust to the Harvard Church, Charlestown,
and $500 to the Winchester Home for Aged Women of the same
place.
Mr. Cutter had no children. He married first, July 7, 1853,
Mary Eliza Edmands, daughter of Barnabas and Eliza (Whitte-
more) Edmands. Mrs. Cutter died February 11, 1854. He mar-
ried second, October 13, 1857, Elizabeth Finley Smith, who sur-
vives him. She was the daughter of Hon. Washington and
Elizabeth (Hay) Smith of Charlestown.

Jonas Oilman Clark, a life member of this society since 1885,
inherited the traits of a sturdy New England ancestry of worth and
distinction. Hugh* Clark and Elizabeth, his wife, were among the
first settlers of Watertown, Massachusetts, and removed to Boxbuiy,
where the husband died in 1683. Their son John', born at Water-
town, 1641, settled in Newton, Massachusetts, where he built the
first saw-mill on the Charles river. He died in 1695 and lefl a son
HEMOIBS. Ix&V
Isaac'. His son John*, bom 1730, became one of the foremost
citizens of Hubbardston, Massachusetts. He was delegate to the first
Provincial Congress of Massachusetts in 1774, and was otherwise
prominent in the Revolutionary struggle. His son William* was of
like character and standing as his father, and served in one of the re-
giments that marched to Lexington, April 19, 1775. He married
Hannah Smith of Rutland, Massachusetts, April 21, 1776. Their
son William Smith*, born January 22, 1784, married, May 22,
1803, Elizabeth, daughter of Lieutenant Samuel Clark. Their son
Jonas Oilman^ Clark was born at Hubbardston, February 1, 1815,
married October 6, 1836, Susan W., daughter of Bildad and Rhoda
Wright, and died at Worcester, May 23, 1900, leaving no children.
Even as a boy, Jonas G. Clark wjis noted for thoroughness and
self-reliant energy, determined to make the most of his opportunities,
and to these traits his life success is largely due. With only the
ordinary advantages of a farmer's boy, he gained a good English
education, and at the age of fifteen apprenticed himself at carriage-
making, from which business, by watching and improving oppor-
tunities, he passed on to the hardware business, and in the early
fifties was conducting a large business in California, dealing princi-
pally in miners' supplies. Intensely loyal to the government, he
was one of the five founders of the Union League by which Califor-
nia was saved from secession. When others wavered, and many
financiers were timid and doubtful, he had strong faith in the Gov-
ernment, and in its time of necessity invested largely in its bonds.
Returning East, he brought a large amount of gold which he sold at
a high premium. It Wiis said that everything he touched turned to
gold. As his wealth increased, he felt keenly the great responsibi-
lities which its possession incurred. He not only gratified his own
scholarly tastes by collecting a valuable private library containing
many rare and choice works, but presented his native town with a
fine library building, with over two thousand well-chosen volumes.
Broadly philanthropic as well as practical, he felt the great impor-
tance of thorough training in order to succeed in any department of
human activity. He sought therefore to find the wisest method of
using the bulk of his fortune for the lasting good of coming genera-
tions. To this end he spent eight years mainly in visiting foreign
institutions, that he might learn the best means for " transmitting
the highest culture of one generation to the ablest youth of the
next." This led to the founding of the noble university which bears
his name, and to which he gave over two millions of dollars. In
an address at the laying the corner-stone, Mr. Clark said, " We
dedicate this University to Science, Letters, Art and Human Pro-
gress, in their best and most valuable forms, and may the Giver of
all good crown its efforts with His abundant blessing." Its decen-
nial celebration in 1899 "was made memorable by the presence of

B.iCiiAiiDSAhi^uSiomiAj D.D., LL.D., B.C.Ln, the prioceof
American preachers, waa bom in Braintree, Masaachttsetta, Aogast
21, 1821. Hia first American progenitor was Ber. Bichard*
Mather, a graduate of Brasenose College, Oxford, fkigfamd, who
was pastor of the church in Dorchester, Massachusetts, ud became
the grandfather of Rev. Cotton Mather, celebrated in the histoiy of
New England. Bey. Eleazer* Mather, the son of Bichaid, was
pastor of the church at Northampton , Massachusetts. Eunice*
Mather, the daughter of Eleazer, wae married to the Rev. John
Williams, who belonged to the same family with Col. Ephraim
Williams, the founder of the college which bears his name. Rev.
Mr. and Mrs. Williams located in the then frontier town of Deer-
field, Massachusetts, and were carried away captive by the Indians
in their terrible assault upon that village in 1 704. Their son*, then a
student at Harvard, became pastor of the church at Mansfield, Con-
necticut, and his daughter Eunice* was married to Col. Shubael
Conant, who was the speaker of the Connecticut legislature during
twenty-one of its sessions, and himself a descendant of the noted
Roger Conant, who had founded, in 1623, the Salem colony, pre-
ceding Endicott as its governor. Col. Conant's daughter Eunice*
married, for her second husband, Rev. John Storrs, who was or-
dained pastor of the church in Southold, Long Island, in 1763, and
served as an army chaplain during the Revolutionary war. His
son. Rev. Richard Salter' Storrs, was pastor at Longmeadow, Mas-
sachusetts. His wife was daughter of Rev. Noah Williston of West
Haven, Connecticut. Rev. Richard Salter' Storrs, D.D., a man
of lofty character, great wisdom and extraordinary eloquence, was
pastor of the church in Braintree, Massachusetts, from 1811 to
1873.
Richard Salter* Storrs, the subject of this sketch, was fitted for
college mainly under the tuition of his father, although he spent a
year at the academy in Moxison, Massachusetts. In 1835 he en-
MEMOIRS. Ixxvii
tered Amherst College, where his passion for general reading im-
paired his devotion to the prescribed studies. He was graduated
with distinction, but not with the highest honors, in 1839.
The conversion of the promising youth had thus far been delayed,
much to the grief of his father ; and, after serving a year as assis-
tant teacher in Monson Academy, he spent several months in Bos-
ton, studying law in the ofiSce of Rufus Choate, There must have
been some change in his religious feelings, for he entered Andover
Seminary in 1841, not intending to prepare for the ministry, but
to study Hebrew under the able guidance of Prof. Moses Stuart.
The atmosphere of the institution acted upon his growing religious
interest, and he resolved to become a Christian man and a minister.
The decision carried great joy into the parsonage at Rraintree, and
Rufus Choate wrote to his former pupil a letter which is still pre-
served, expressing his belief that the change of plan was a wise one.
Mr. Storrs was graduated fipom the Seminary with marked distinc-
tion in 1845. On October 22d of the same year he was ordained
pastor of the Harvard Church, Brookline. The young pastor began
to develop unexpected ability, and the light in the golden candle-
stick was seen at some distance. In the course of a few months
Mr. Storrs accepted a call to the newly formed church in Brooklyn,
New York, and became the pastor of the Church of the Pilgrims,
the pioneer Congregational church of that city, November 19, 1846.
Young men starting with equal apparent prospects in life, vary in
a certain power of spiritual and mental expansion, which no man
can either measure or predict. Abraham Lincoln during his early
years grew with the young frontiersmen around him, but at a cer-
tain point they stood still and he continued to advance. His pecu-
liar gift lay in his power of limitless growth. During the early
years of his pastorate. Dr. Storrs much resembled his young minis-
terial associates, but he put his best work into every sermon, did
all his duties faithfully and well, until at length observing men
began to see that the young preacher was becoming larger. Before
many years passed it was conceded that the young Henry Ward
Beecher and the young Richard S. Storrs, were the two leading
preachers of Brooklyn, the one by the force of natural genius, the
other by that of assiduous culture ; the one depended upon his
brilliant intuitions, the other upon his accumulated knowledge ; the
one naturally appealed to the masses, the other instinctively ad-
dressed the educated mind. But in the end nature gives her best
prize to trained ability rather than to genius unaided, and the sys-
tematic method of Dr. Storrs carried him in the end beyond his
brilliant contemporary. Besides attaining the highest rank as a
pulpit and platform orator. Dr. Storrs was acknowledged to be the
most prominent citizen of Brooklyn, an admirable pastor, an able

He wail made an LL.D. by at least two other institutioos. In

tlie eon tending faction a of the American Bcjard, acting an president
of tluit IkkIj from 18S7 to l!^97j and with great skill and wisdom
piloted that grand organization through the most dangerooa crisis in
its history.
The loftiest positions in the church sought him in vain ; he de-
clined repeatedly the most flattering invitations to other fields of
labor. His noble congregation showed their estimate of their pas-
tor's devotion to them by celebrating in 1896 the fiftieth year of his
pastorate. The jubilee services, which lasted for several days,
were a series of tributes to his usefulness and fame.
Dr. Storrs' contributions to literature have been many and choice,
including " The Constitution of the Human Soul," 1857 ; ^ Condi-
tions of Success in Preaching without Notes," 1875; "Recognition
of the Supernatural in Letters and in Life,** 1881; "The Divine
Origin of Christianity Indicated by its Historical Effects" (before
Lowell Institute), 1884 ; " Bernard of Clairvaux," 1892 ; and many
commemorative and historical orations. His last publication was
his compilation of " Addresses on Foreign Missions," deUvered at
annual meetings of the American Board.
With advancing years Dr. Storrs' strength gradually failed, and
on November 19, 1899, he resigned his pastoral oflBce, and finally
passed away on June 5, 1900. He was married on October 1,
1845, to Mary Elwcll Jenks of Andover, Massachusetts, a niece of
Wendell Phillips. She died on January 7, 1898. One daughter
died in childhood, and three married daughters survive him.

Albert Poor, A.B., LL.B., was bom in that part of An-
dover, Massachusetts, which is now North Andover, November 21,
1853. He was the son of James and Susan (Morse) PoOr, and
was a descendant in the seventh generation from Daniel* Poore, who,
in the year 1638, at the age of fourteen, came from England to
Newbury, Massachusetts, in the family of Stephen Dummer. He
married in Boston, in 1650, Mary Farnum, and they were among
the early settlers of Andover, where all of Albert Poor's ancesters
named below have resided. Daniel* Poore, jr., married Mehitable
Osgood. Thomas' Poor married Mary Adams. Abraham* Poor
married Elizabeth Barker. Joseph* married Mary Bradley. James*
married Susan, daughter of Nathaniel Morse, whose immigrant
ancestor settled in Newbury.
Albert Poor had his early education in the public schools, and
graduated from the North Andover High School in its first class.
He taught a year 'or more in a commercial school in Boston, at the
same time completing his preparation for Harvard. He graduated
with distinction in 1879 and entered the Law School, completing
the course in 1882. During this Law school course he was also a
teacher in the Boston Evening High School. He was admitted to
the Suffolk bar in 1882, and practised in Boston to the time of his
decease.
" He was a great reader and of marked literary taste. He wrote
and delivered addresses on Gladstone, Wordsworth and other sub-
jects. His most signal effort was the oration at the two hundred
and fiftieth anniversary of the settlement of Andover, in 1896, de-
lived with extraordinary power and effect before a great audience."
He was also the orator at the reunion of the Poor-Poore family at
Haverhill in 1887.
Mr. Poor was for years a resident of Boston, but, in 1894, re-
moved to Andover, and took an active part in public affairs. He
was president of the Village Improvement Society, Chairman of the
Park Commission, and in 1897 representative to the General Court.
He was a member of the New-England Historic Genealogical So-
ciety, elected February 14, 1900. "He always took great interest
in young men struggling for education, and would impoverish him-
self to give them financial aid, as well as devoting his evening time
to assist them in. their studies." He died, unmarried, June 11,
1900.

of that place, and took the most active interest in both. He was a
man of high personal character, with strict notions of honor, of most
urbane and charming manners and a loyal friend." He died in
Hudson, June 16, 1900.

Mellen Chamberlain, LL.D., was bom in Pembroke, New
Hampshire, June 4, 1821. He was the son of Moses and Mary
(Foster) Chamberlain. His first known Ajnerican ancestor was
MEMOIRS. IxXZi
Jacob Chamberlain of Roxbury, Massachusetts, born about 1691.
On January 12, 1714, he married Abigail Hasey of Rumney
Marsh, and there settled. Through his mother, who was the grand-
daughter of the Hon. Abiel Foster of Canterbury, Mellen Chamber-
lain was descended from John Rogers, President of Harvard
College, and Governor Thomas Dudley. He was named Moses,
after his father, but when in college he took the name of Mellen,
presumably after some one of that name in his mother's family, but
possibly after Mellen Chamberlain, a lawyer and graduate of Dart-
mouth (1816), who died in 1839. His father kept a country store
at Pembroke, and later at Concord, New Hampshire, whither the
family moved in 1836. His early education was at the district
school, and at the Pembroke Academy. In 1840 he entered Dart-
mouth College, and graduated in the class of 1844. In 1885 his
Alma Mater gave him the degree of LL.D. During his course he
taught school in Danvers, Massachusetts, and here he met the Miss
Putnam who became his wife. After graduation he taught school
for nearly three years (May, 1844-Nov., 1846) in Brattleborough,
Vermont, and in the autumn of 1846 entered the Harvard Law
School. Soon after entering he was made librarian of the Law
School, and this office he held till he graduated with the degree of
LL.B. in 1848. His name appears, however, also in the senior
class which graduated in 1849.
In June, 1849, he married Martha Ann, daughter of Col. Jesse
and Elizabeth (Merriam) Putnam, and took residence in Chelsea,
where he made his home for the rest of his life. In the same year
he was admitted to the bar and opened a law office in Boston. Dur-
ing his fifty-one years as a citizen of Chelsea he served the town in
several honorable capacities: in 1857 as a member of a committee
to prepare a draft for a city charter; then, 1857, on the first board
of aldermen, and in 1860, 1861 and 1863, on the school com-
mittee. He was for six years the city solicitor (1^58-1863), and
commissioner of the sinking ftmd from 1876 to 1883, and in 1868-
70 a trustee of the Public Library. While a representative in the
General Court (1858, 1859) he was a member of the special com-
mission on the Revision of the Statutes, and during the second year
of his term in the State Senate (1863, 1864) was chairman of the
judiciary committee. On June 29, 1866, he was appointed associate
justice of the municipal court of Boston, and December 1, 1870, was
made chief justice of that court, where he served till August, 1878.
Judge Chamberlain, on August 26, 1878, was chosen by a unani-
mous board of trustees the librarian of the Public Library of the city
of Boston. He entered on his duties October 1. In his first annual
report the new librarian called attention to the crowded condition of
the Boylston street building, and hinted at a possible removal. Be-
fore his resignation, dated July 1, and taking effect October 1, 1890,

Boston Public Library, that it is superfluous to repeat tlie facts.
Judge Chamberlain died without issue at Chelsea, June 25, 1900.
His wife died in 1887.
He was essentially of a conservative habit of mind, rarely ex-
pressed an oflT-hand opinion, and went below the superficial aspect
of past or present events for the main springs of history. One of
his closest friends wrote of him after his death, that he was " virile,
industrious, ambitious."
His principal publications are : Winnisimmet, Rumney Marsh,
Pullen Point, and Chelsea in the Provincial Period ; (in Winsor's

Charles Henry Bass Breck was born in Pepperell, Massachu-
setts, August 23, 1820, and was the son of Joseph and Sarah
(Bullard) Breck. He was a descendant in the eighth generation
from Edward Breck, one of the Puritans, who left his home in Ash-
ton (now Ashton-under-Lyne) , England, and came to Boston in
1635, and settled in Dorchester. Edward* Breck was born about
1595. He married in 1647 his second wife and the mother of his
children, Isabel Rigby, the widow of John Eigby. The line of de-
scent is as follows: Edward,' Captain John', born 1651, Edward',
bom 1674, Edward*, bom 1706, Edward*, born in Dorchester,
1738, Jonathan", born 1762, Joseph', bom 1794, Charles Henry
Bass."
About the year 1828, Joseph Breck removed with his family to
Lancaster, Massachusetts, and the subject of this sketch received his
education at the academy in that town. He showed an early apti-
tude for business as an assistant to his father, and in 1850 became
a partner with his father in the New England Agricultural Ware-
house and Seed Store. After the father's death he became the head
of the firm, and in the half century of his connection with it, the
business grew to large proportions.
** In addition to his business duties, Mr. Breck was called to fill
many positions of honor and trust, and this he did with unswerving
fidelity and indefatigable energy. In the Brighton district, where
he resided, he held several responsible oflSces before the annexation
to Boston, among them those of selectman for three years and mem-
ber of the school committee for six years." After annexation he
was a member of the Boston board of aldermen, four years. From
1878 to 1884 he was one of the board of directors of the East Bos-
ton ferries. He was for many years a director of the Metropolitan
National Bank. He was active in the affairs of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society, serving as chairman of its committee of ar-
rangements for seventeen years, and being vice-president to the close
of his life. He was a memberof the New-England Historic Genea-
logical Society, elected in 1880. For about fifty-five years he had
been a member of Bethesda Masonic Lodge and was its oldest living
Past Master.
" It was in private life, however, that Mr. Breck's characteristics
shone most conspicuously. A patron of the arts and a lover of
music, himself an excellent performer on the flute, his home on No-
nantum Hill in the Brighton district was for many years the rendez-
vous of a choice circle of artistic friends. There courteous hospi-
tality prevailed, and the guest speedily became aware that he was
welcome. A kind, thoughtful and helpful father and employer,
Mr. Breck always attracted youth, encouraged its confidences and
aided its aspirations. His wonderful vitality and activity at an age
when men are generally inclined to spare themselves, was largely

Alansdx Wilder Beard, a member of this society since 1874,
was born in Lndlow, Vermont, August 20, 1825, and was the boh
of James and Chloc Bartlett (Wikler) Beard. He was tle^cenJed
from Andrew' Beard who came to this country about the year 1766
ind settled in Hilkboro' County, New Hampshire, Andrew BesrJ
and his wife were from near Louflonderryj Ireland, of t-he stiinly,
Prote§tant, Scotch-Irish stock of that region, Andrew's son
Joseph* married Margaret Siellen and was the father of James% th^
father of Alanaon Wilder.* ■■
James Beard was a farmer in Stockbridge, Vermont, and here
his son was brought up in the toil and hardship of a New-England
farmer's life. ** At the age of seventeen he began to teach school,
and this he continued with little intermission until his twenty-first
year, when he went into business at Pittsfield, Vermont, keeping a
country store for the succeeding six years, and at the same time
acting as postmaster of the village. In the month of September,
1853, he came to Boston to seek his fortune, and for the next two
years acted as a salesman. In 1856 he went into business as a
manufacturer aud dealer in clothing, the firm at first being Beecher,
Beard & Co., and subsequently assuming the form of Freeland,
Beard & Co., and later Beard, Moulton & Bouv6, In 1878 Mr.
Beard retired from business."
He was for several years a member of the Republican State Cen*
tral Committee, and was its chairman in 1875 and 1885. He was
a member of the House of Representatives from Brookline in 1870
and 1871, and from Boston in 1884 and 1885. He was Collector
of the Port of Boston from 1878 to 1882 and from 1890 to 1894,
and was treasurer of the Commonwealth from 1886 to 1888.
During the active years of his life Mr. Beard was prominent in
public affairs, and exerted a strong influence in political matters.
He was of a positive and forceful temperament, and possessed genu-
ine qualities of organization and leadership. " He was a man of re-
sources and of courage, not depressed by defeat nor unduly elated
MEMOIRS. IXXX7
by victory. He was a strong partisan, because he honestly believed
in the efficacy of party to produce the best results. He believed
and acted upon his belief, that in a country where the people are
sovereign, the best citizenship involves an active participation in
public affairs. He will be remembered as one of the strong men of
his generation, his party and his adopted State."
Mr. Beard married November 27, 1848, Mary Calista Morgan of
Rochester, Vermont, who with one son survives him. He died at
his home in Boston, August 27, 1900.

Jacob Mandes Da Costa, M.D., LL.D., eminent in the world
of medical science, was born in St. Thomas, West Indies, Febru-
ary 7, 1833, and died suddenly at his country-seat, '*Ashwood," near
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, September 12, 1900. His education
as a boy and college student was received in Germany. His medi-
cal training was obtained at Jefferson Medical College, Philadel-
phia, where he graduated at the early age of nineteen, presenting
OS his thesis a study on Epithelial Tumors and Cancers of the Neck.
He then spent two years in the schools and hospitals of Paris and
Vienna, entering practice in Philadelphia on his return. In 1864
he was appointed lecturer on clinical medicine at the Jefferson Med-
ical College, in that city, and in 1872 was chosen to the chair of
Theory and Practice of Medicine, which position he resigned in
1891, to occupy that of Practice of Medicine and Clinical Medicine,
and at the time of his death he was Emeritus Professor of these
branches.
" As a teacher he exhibited a marked individuality and stamped
his influence indelibly upon his hearers. He was fond of arriving
at a diagnosis by exclusion, and his vast knowledge of medical liter-
ature and enormous, well-classified experience, made his results
often remarkable." — Philadelphia Medical Journal, "Dr. Da
Costa was a facile and accomplished speaker and was unsurpassed
in his special department as a clinical lecturer. . • . He was a stu-
dent of correct diction, and both in his lectures and in his writings
showed his familiarity with the English classics. He also showed
his wide extent of miedical reading by references to French and Ger-
man authorities, and, as a consultant, as well as clinical teacher, he
demonstrated the fact that he kept himself posted in the current
literature of his profession." — Medical News,
As a diagnostician Dr. Da Costa is said to have had no superior
in this country, and in this connection, his name and some of the
results of his study and experience will live in his writings, which
rank among the highest medical authorities. His work on "Physi-
cal Diagnosis," which first appeared in 1864, is used as a text-book
in the leading medical coUeges in the United States and abroad. It

sicians, and at one time its president. The University of Pennsyl-
vania in 1891, and Harvard University in 1897, conferred upon
him the degree of LL.D. At Yale University, on the occasion of
the commencement of 1900, he delivered an address, in which,
among other things, he made a powerful appeal for the prevention
of the spread of that dread contagious disease, tuberculosia. The
address was widely published in newspapers in this country, and
evoked much commendatory editorial comment. Dr. Da Costa was
a corresponding member of the New-England Historic Genealogical
Society, elected in 1867.

Charles Chauncy Burr, a life member of this society since
1863, was bom in Worcester, Massachusetts, February 9, 1818.
He was the sonof Heman Merrick and Nelly (Tucker) Burr. He
was a descendant in the eighth generation from Rev. Jonathan Burr,
who came from England in 1639. He was born in Redgrave, Coun-
ty Suffolk, England, in 1604; graduated at Cambridge, 1627;
was a clergyman of the established church, preaching at Rickings-
hall. This living was in the jurisdiction of Archbishop Liaud of
persecuting memory. The young preacher inclined to the views of
MEMOIRS. Ixxxvii
the Puritan party in the church, and so fell under the displeasure of
the archbishop, and finally determined to emigrate to America with
his wife Frances and three children. He was settled as colleague
with Rev. Richard Mather in Dorchester, Massachusetts, in Feb-
ruary, 1640. Cotton Mather, in the Magnalia, speaks of him as
^ a clergyman of culture, piety and rare eloquence." The line of
descent runs from Jonathan* through Simon*, who settled in Hing-
ham about 1646, John,' bom 1660, and Mary (Warren), John,*
bom Hingham, 1695, and Silence (Howard), Jonathan*, bom
Bridgewater, 1731, and Martha (Cudworth), Luther," born Bridge-
water, 1764, and Jane (Howard) and Heman Merrick', bom
Bridgewater, 1785.
Charles Chauncy Burr's childhood was a fitting prelude to his
riper years. His mother used to say of him that he never did a
wrong thing, or caused her one moment's anxiety. From the age
often, for seven years he earned his own living, sometimes away
from home, sometimes with his father on the farm. He had the
privilege of attending school in the winter, and in the later years of
tliis period, had at intervals five '* quarters " at Leicester Academy.
At the age of seventeen he came to Boston as clerk in a dry goods
store, and when he reached the age of twenty-one, began business
for himself in the same line. Some years later his brother, Isaac
T. Burr, joined him in business, and there were other partners from
time to time. Charles C. Burr was for several years foreign buyer
for the firm, making his home in Paris. He retired from active
business in 1878.
He removed to Aubumdale, about the year 1848, and resided there
till the end of his life. He was one of the founders of the Congre-
gational church in Auburndale, in 1850, and was its treasurer for
nearly fifty years, and one of its deacons firom 1854 to the time of
his death. He was a member of the prudential committee of the
American Board of Foreign Missions for the last twenty-four years
of his life, and devoted time and thought and care in unstinted meas-
ure to the responsible duties of that position. He was vice-presi-
dent and a director of the American Congregational Association,
trustee of the Congregational Education Society, of Euphrates Col-
lege and of Newton Hospital, a director of the Arlington Mills, and
held other positions of trust and responsibility. He served four
years in the Newton Board of Aldermen, and represented the city
in the General Court in 1883 and 1884. Since 1863 he was a life
member of the New-England Historic Genealogical Society.
Mr. Burr married first, in 1849, Lucy W. Wilson ; second, in
1852, Amelia S. Williams ; a son and daughter from this marriage
survive their father; third, in 1887, Mrs. Abby (Denham) Young,
who survives him. He died in Aubumdale, September 23, 1900.

CfiAia.Es Jereso' Hoadly, A»M., LL,D,, aeorreeponding miem-
ber of this society, elected in 1846, was born in Hartford, Connect-
icut, August I,'l8i8, and died in that city, October 19, 19M,
He was a descendant in the seventh generation from Capt. Wilbam
Hoadle, who was born in England about 1H30, and was in Say-
brook, Connecticut, in 16o3. The line of descent is as follows:
Capt. William*, Samuel*, Samuel', James*, Hon. Jeremy*, Wil-
liam Henry*, Charles Jeremy'. All the family, after Capt. William
down to Charles Jeremy, seem to have borne the name of Hoadley.
The subject of this sketch wrote his name without the"e." The
wife of William Henry Hoadley and mother of Charles Jeremy was
Harriet Louisa Hillyer, a descendant from Elder lirewster of the
Plymouth Colony.
Charles Jeremy Hoadly was prepared for college at the Hopkins
Grammar School of Hartford, and graduated at Trinity College as
valedictorian of his class in 1851. He studied law in the office of
Welch and Shipman, and was admitted to the bar in 1855. In the
same year he was appointed librarian of the State of Connecticut,
and held the office as long as he lived. Here the work of his life
was done. He made the library almost complete in the departments
which, as he believed, it ought to cover. As a result of his method,
the Connecticut State library possesses to-day complete sets of the
originals of all official American law reports, practically complete
sets of reports for England, Scotland and Ireland, and also of Cana-
dian reports, as far as they relate to our law. The same policy was
pursued in making collections of statutes. Mr. Hoadly's aim was
to procure for the library every publication of session laws and eveiy
MEMOIRS. Izxxix
official revision of the statutes, not only of the United States and of
every State and Territory, but also of England, Scotland, Ireland
and Canada. Beyond this he did not wish to extend the scope of
the library, except to include publications relating to the general or
local history of Connecticut, the documentary histories and State
papers of the other States, and the writings of eminent statesmen of
the nation, together with a few especially desirable works of refer-
ence. But the collections made under these heads are of great and
permanent value.
Dr. Hoadly edited the New Haven Colonial Records, 1638 to
1665, two volumes ; the Connecticut Colonial Records, 1689 to 1776,
volumes 4 to 15 ; and since 1887 was engaged upon the Connecticut
State Records from 1776 onward. Of this series two volumes have
been issued and a third is in manuscript, lacking a few notes to make
it ready for the printer. Dr. Hoadly also edited, in 1856, "Good-
win's Genealogical Notes."
''He was a member of many learned bodies, especially valuing his
membership in the Massachusetts Historical Society, the American
Antiquarian Society, the New-England Historic Genealogical So-
ciety and the Connecticut Historical Society, of which he was presi-
dent fipom the year 1894 until his death."
He was unmarried. Throp brothers and a sister survive him.
Gen. William Scudder Stryker, LL.D., F.R.H.S., cor-
responding member of the New-England Historic Genealogical
Society from September 6, 1882, died in Trenton, New Jersey,
October 29, 1900. General Stryker was born in Trenton, June 6,
1838, being a son of Thomas J. and Hannah (Scudder) Stryker.
The Strycker family (so the name was then written) left Holland
in 1652, and settled in New Amsterdam, where, in the colonial
affairs of early New York, the name became prominent. The pro-
genitor of our associate was one of the leading burghers of that old
Dutch town, and a member of the Landtdag, the great assembly of
the province.
General Stryker graduated from Princeton University in the class
of 1858. He immediately began the study of law. April 16,
1861, he enlisted as a private soldier, and later assisted in organ-
izing the Fourteenth New Jersey Volunteers. February, 1863, he
was ordered to Hilton Head, South Carolina, and made Major and
Aid-de-Camp to Major-General Quincy A. Gilmore, then in com-
mand of the Tenth Army Corps. He participated in the capture
of Morris Island, the bloody night attack on Fort Wagner, and the
operations in the siege of Charleston. Subsequently he was trans-
ferred to the North on account of illness, and placed in charge of
the pay department, U. S. A., at Columbus, Ohio, where he re-
mained until one year previous to his resignation in 1866, having
Eed liietiteeant-CciloQel for merliorioos service dtiring

the degree of Doctor of Laws*
General Stryker was married September 14, 1870, to Helen
Boudinot Atterbury, of New York City, His wife and three cliil*
dren surviye him. In the death of General Stryker his native city
and state have lost one of their most distinguished citizens, and the
country at large has lost a patriot and soldier.
Some of General Stryker's principal publications are : " Register
of Officers and Men of New Jersey in the Revolutionary War,"
•* Record of Officers and Men of New Jersey in the Civil War,"
•'The Battles of Trenton and Princeton," an exhaustive narrative of
these engagements, in the light of facts derived from the German
records. At the time of his death he was engaged in the prepara-
tion of a similar work in regard to the battle of Monmouth. He
also wrote a large number of valuable historical monographs, largely
relating to military operations and colonial times.

Osgood Field, F.S.A., was bom in New York City, November
14, 1823. He was the son of Moses and Susan Kittredge (Osgood)
Field, and was a descendant in the tenth generation from John*
Feld, who was constable of Sowerby, England, in 1513 and 1514.
The line of descent is as follows: Christopher* Feld, William*
Feild of Northowram, near Halifax, Yorkshire; Robert* Feild, one
of the patentees of Flushing, New York, in 1645 ; Anthony* Field
of Flushing, Benjamin* Field of Flushing, Anthony,' John* of
Yorktown, New York; Moses,* Osgood.** Osgood Field's father,
Moses, bom in 1779, was a merchant in New York City. His
mother, Susan Kittredge Osgood, was a daughter of Hon. Samuel
MEMOIRS. XCi
Osgood, first Postmaster-General under Washington's administra-
tion.
Osgood Field was educated at the French boarding-school of the
brothers Pengnet. In 1842 he made the tour of Europe. In 1843
he passed six months in the Southern and Western States and Cuba.
In 1849 he established himself in the commission business in London,
England, where he remained many years. Subsequently he retired
from business, and made his home in Rome, where other members
of his family were residing.
"He married, in 1880, Katherine Roxana Parker, daughter of
Milton Parker of Utica, New York, and cousin of Mr. J. Pierpont
Morgan. Their home for many years was in the Palazzo Colonna,
and they spent several months annually between Rome, London,
Paris, and the various spas of Europe. Mr. Field had survived
most of his contemporaries, and his last visit to New York was
about ten years before his death. He always retained a lively in-
terest in American affairs."
He was a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London, a
member of the New York Historical Society, a corresponding mem-
ber of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, and
since 1868 a corresponding member of the New-England Historic
Genealogical Society. He printed for private circulation "The
Fields of Sowerby, with some Notices of the Families of Under-
bill, Bowne, Burling, Hazard and Osgood," London, 1895. He
furnished occasional contributions to the New-England Historical
and Genealogical Register, to the Gentleman's Magazine, and to

In tlie following year he was ealled to the pastorate of the First
Congreg;itional Church at Poughkeepjsie, New York, where he re-
matnid till 1862. His health then gave way; and, as his ecclea-
flgtical \iews had begun to undergo a cliange, he turned from hii
clerieal career to that of a lecturer and writer* The lyceum system
